Cutting edge particle physics and Zen mysticism say remarkably similar things about the nature of reality.
Check out "Dancing Wu Li Masters." About 400 pages of math and philosophy that basically is an exposition on that first sentence.
The Bhagavad-Gita speaks constantly of all things being of the same essential nature and that the apparent differences are just tricks of perception, tricks of Maya.
The many paralells between Eastern religious philosophy and particle physics are striking.
It is also not suprising that the Newtonian/Descartian world view is so closely tied with Western religion. Christianity, in particular.
Fun stuff to think about.
