Mixing quantum physics with new age psychology, this movie is reported to be an interface between the two. It seemingly includes comments from some top-level quantum physicists along with a fiction storyline (is that Maitlee Martin?) that looks like a lot of fun.
I did a search on it on SDMB, but found nothing. I can’t believe I’m the first to hear about it!
I saw it quite a while ago, before it was picked up for national distribution.
On the whole, I wasn’t terribly impressed. If you’re not very familiar with quantum physics, it’s probably a good way to get some of the concepts. The storyline is kind of interesting, even if contrived.
My biggest problem, which is just a bias of mine, I suppose, was Ramtha. I mean, a channeled entity speaking in a documentary?
I had a whole long post about how mediocre this movie is, but you really have to see it for yourself to understand. From what the filmmakers say, yes it looks very interesting. But, if I had read the filmmakers’ website before seeing it, I would have hunted them down and asked for my money back in person. Rather I saw it not knowing what it was about, ready for anything, and still walked out feeling cheated.
I can’t even find the words . . . to describe how they’re describing what they thought they accomplished is comical (see they have me talking jibberish).
The article includes a list of the “physicists” who appear in the film. I have not seen the film, so I cannot comment on what claims they may make in it, but if you google their names, I think you’ll find that there is little justification for characterizing any of them as “top-level quantum physicists”. Among the talking heads:
William Tiller, Ph.D.
According to the biography on Tiller’s website, linked above, he is not a quantum physicist, but rather a materials scientist. However, that has not stopped him from believing that he has solved some of the most difficult problems in quantum physics. From an abstract to his paper “Towards General Experimentation and Discovery in ‘Conditioned’ Laboratory Spaces, Part III: A Theoretical Interpretation of Non-local Information Entanglement”:
I wonder what my emotion-mind-spirit coordinates are?
John Hagelin
This guy is one of those people who put press releases about themselves on their own webpages. According to his most recent posting,
And just how do these “peace-creating experts” work? From here:
(emphases in original) I like how the technology appears to be wireless. Shouldn’t they know whether or not the technology they themselves have mastered involves wires?
And these are the talking heads listed as physicists. As one moves on to the mystics, etc., one can expect to find individuals even less qualified to pontificate on the connection between modern physics and spirituality.
