Forum for discussing the movie

Hey, folks. Please feel free to post your reaction to the movie. What did you like, what did you not like about the movie? Did it represent science accurately or misrepresent it to make its points?

Entertaining But Possibly Misleading

I think that the movie does a good job of making quantum physics easier to understand for those who aren't as knowledgeable about science and math. Although, considering quantum mechanics is a fairly fuzzy subject, I think that it's misleading for them to give such definite answers about things. For example, they made very strong statements about how God is not a distinct, separate entity. But the truth is that we just don't know. P.S. That one lady with the accent was frightening.

that was katie by the way

agree with Katie

I agree that the boundaries of quantum mechanics were not elucidtated. To use it to make strong claims about the nature of God, for instance, seems to me completely misguided.

Further, I think it did not really touch upon the full mystery that Q.M. does present to us in a systematic way. I think we will probably hear more on this from a certain colleague of mine (hint, Kerry) ...

Lars.

P.S. I also thought that JZ Knight/Ramtha was scary. Apparently she is channeling Ramtha ...

I agree...

I agree with almost all of the scientists viewpoints in the movie. I find these things to be true in my life, especially the comments regarding religion. I feel that there is no one "god" or diety ruling over us all. Each pf us creates our own reality, and thus governs our own fate. It's sort of like the Matrix, there is no fate only cause and effect. I know that this is a very pragmatic way of looking at the world. I like it that way of looking at things. That way you can sort of step back and look at things objectivly, because in essence you are not attached to them.

And yes, the lady in the red shirt thing is very creepy...
