If you are still curious after reading Zukav's book, try QED, by Richard 
Feynman.  He's a professor of physics and I believe he won the Nobel Prize.  
Despite this, he takes the same approach as Zukav--that of presenting 
physics to laypeople, although he does not include the mystical buddhism 
aspects of it.

The addict regards his body impersonally as an instrument to absorb the 
medium in which he lives, evaluates his tissue with the cold dead hands of a 
horse trader.  "No use trying to hit there."  Dead fish eyes flick over a 
ravaged vein.
          -Burroughs, Naked Lunch
