I never thought physics could be related to Buddhism. ..but I guess anything is possible.
here's a video I found explaining the relationship between science & Buddhism.

I found this chapter to be confusing at first, but after I read a little further I understood what Capra was trying to say.
I think the main concept he is trying to get through is that language can only explain so much. The true meaning and explanation of some things can only be found through reality, not language or logic.
Capra mentions the Tao Te Ching and how it can be extremely difficult and puzzling to read. He also mentions that it is very contradicting. It is just one example of how eastern philosophy makes us think much deeper into things, forgetting about logic & reasoning.
Zen Buddhists teach nonverbally through senseless riddles called koans. These riddles are used to make students aware of the nonverbal understanding of reality. They are not meant to be solved using logic, however they are to be "understood in awareness of reality".
