If you are uncomfortable discussing the controversial movie, What the Bleep do we Know, please ignore this post. Otherwise, I feel this is an important thread to leave open for students interested in separating fact from fiction.
I developed an interest in quantum physics after viewing this movie many years ago. It had piqued my interest in the double-slit experiment, Planck scale, entanglement, Bose-Einstein condensates, and many other fascinating concepts. I actually came to this forum to develop a better idea of some of the concepts presented in this movie, but I noticed that previous posts referencing What the Bleep were met with hostility and censorship requests.
For my sake and others curious about ideas presented in this movie, would willing responders please list specific details from this movie that are inaccurate in anyway and help me/us understand the truth?
Thanks.
