What The Bleep Do We Know?

[Jazza]

for those who enjoy pondering about reality i recomend watching this

for those who have no idea what i'm talking about, it's a movie, it seems it's only showing in a few places

IMO although the ideas in the movie are grounded in physics, they are a little quick to jump to conclusions

but these conclusions are more logical and interesting that the conclusions most people jump to

anyone else seen it? i'd like to hear others opinions

I thought this movie was terrible. The unnammed dudes w/ no credentials were using .5 second explanations of quantum physics to justify some positive-feeling new age BS.

"the key to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery"

hahahah. come on.

[Jazza]

some of them are dodgey, but John Hagelin at least has serious credentials

I watched this movie against my will. I thought it was very boring as I wasn't engaged by the deaf chick, the black kid on the playground, or any of the other actors.

A few of the "experts" had some really interesting things to say though. Also, I enjoyed the part where they were showing how people can affect the reality around them like with the different parts of the brain and how people act in social situations.

Overall though, I would've rather watched something else.

I liked it, started a thread a while ago that got ignored more or less.

I thought some aspects were incredibly interesting.

woops, i should have searched first [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

i appreciate you not using the pile of poo pic

[thatpfunk]

Oh, I didn't mean that in a mean way or anything, just showing the lack of interest people had in the thread. I don;t blame you for not seeing it, it wasn't on the front page long at all.

Aspects I liked/thought were interesting/wanted more opinions on: the highly intensified water photos, the where is matter when it isn't "here", and the way things are percieved by our brains since everything is "filtered". Very interesting stuff.

Oh yea, I forgot about those water photos. That was pretty amazing and I was wondering if anyone has found a link to more information/pictures from that expirement.

[Yobz]

I saw it and I didn't enjoy it. It started off well enough but then it got preachy instead of more science. The acting was terrible, too.

[Jazza]

IMO the water photos are very dodgy untill proven otherwise. this guy's website doesn't show much, this guy doesn't strike me as one who would be scientific about this water stuff

but yeah i too am very interested about quantum mechanics, and exactly how do things exist, and how does observing affect the existence of things and so forth
