Quantum physics movie - What the *$@ are we thinking? And upcoming movie

[JamesU]

Just saw the sequel, "What the Bleep?! -- Down the Rabbit Hole". Not too good. It was exactly the same as the first one with some extra footage of the photographer and more animation...it was 3 hours long...

For real scientific documentaries, watch the Science Channel.

Never sw the movie, but I think I know its kind. Sigh, this movie, and those other books and documentaries like it, just help create all those people that think they can understand general relativity with ever taking an intro to physics course or understanding algebra. Sigh...

The new one had some "better" science. but they had a lot of the old crap and the same "experts"

Lastly, somewhere in the movie the one guy says that in american labs some people have done experiments where an object is in 2 places at the same time...and they have photos that show 2 points of light, That (Wow!) does not come from 2 objects, but from the one object in 2 places. Wow!

Mysticism attracts mystics.

One should see this movie as a necessary consequence of the content of the theory.

I remember when this movie rose to pseudo-fame across messageboards. People thought they were experts on quantum theory because they had seen this movie 'What the...'
It was quite sickening to see the boards of certain sites filled with 'My theory of quantum singularity..' or 'My infinite universe quantum...' or some quantum mumbojumbo (I still use that word). I tried explaining to people that what they were posting was not science or physics but metaphysics, closer to what you will hear in a philosophy class.
Never saw the movie myself, I stick to Quantum Leap...way more scientific.

It played on TMN where I'm from, and I got bored after a few minutes.

I've learned to scan crackpots within seconds.
