Anyone else noticed this/ It seems that some of the stuff I lerned in eastern metaphysics at university of hawaii( Hilo) were similar to what was bing taught in Physics calls in regards to light and its properties and also black holes, quarks etc.
This wll require a man for all seasons to answer as so many of us are specialized in narrow fields only. I seek information for a book about this. any ideas or thoughts?

It's an old book, but try "The Tao of Physics", and you might be a bit more amazed.

metaphysics was name simply because it was the next book after physics in Aristotle's book order.
What they have in common is the question, What is reality, what is truth? Physics uses inductive methods. Metaphysics uses deductive methods, but should, like physics use inductive methods.

"The Quantum and the Lotus" by Matthieu Ricard and Trinh Xuan Thuan might be of interest... B. Alan Wallace has a new one out which I want very much myself... "Contemplative Science; Where Buddhism and Neuroscience Converge"
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has some good ones out too along these lines.

They definitely have something in common, but they are distinctly different levels of reality. Physics is how reality works. Metaphysics is about what reality is.

Read "Tao Of Physics" by Friyof Capra. He makes a good point that it does.
