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

In summary, my friend who is learning calculus and physics, and I teach him what I know, tells me that a new movie called "What the fu* are we thinking?" is about quantum physics and the development of science. The release date is March 11th, 2004. It is about a travel agency that arranges hunting trips for wealthy customers back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley, Catherine McCormack, Corey Johnson, Jemima Rooper star in the film.

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

My friend who is learning calculus and physics, and I teach him what I know, works at movie theatre.


He told me about a new movie in 2004, called "What the fuc* are we thinking?"

It's about quantum physics and the development of science. Anyone seen this movie? I can't see it yet. Probably because of the damn title, I'd love to see it! But I live in a small town (lake havasu) 3 hours away from phoenix. We probably wouldn't get it from its messed up title.

However, I know my movie theatre is getting a movie called:



A Sound of Thunder

One small step for man
Cast: Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley, Catherine McCormack, Corey Johnson, Jemima Rooper
Set in a near future where time travel is possible, this is the story of a travel agency, Time Safari Inc. (owned and managed by Kingsley's character), that arranges hunting trips for wealthy customers back in time to hunt dinosaurs. Each trip is carefully planned, with a scout identifying dinosaurs about to die, and then sending the clients back just seconds before, so the course of time is not altered by the kill. However, in this case, a nervous hunter steps off the trail, and steps on a butterfly. The historical repercussions of the death of a single butterfly, compounded by millions of years of effects, leaves the hunters to return to a future that is not quite the one they came from... Now, Travis Ryer (Burns), the lead dinosaur hunter, must team up with Sonia Rand (McCormack), the inventor of the time machine technology to stop the "time waves" that are rippling up from this event, threatening to erase humanity from existence.


Release Date: 03-11

Here's my view on what we know on time travel and quantum stuff, please correct me and/or give me your views, I might have this mixed up, thanks:


There are much less problems in traveling to the future than in the past.


If you were to travel in the past, you would make an entire timeline of yourself. You could be your grandfather, daugther, etc?

Anyway, if you made a time machine. You couldn't go back in time before the time machine was made..since it didn't exist.

This movie is about a guy who makes a time machine, goes back into time and takes people to visit hunting when the dinosaurs roamed.

They were supposed to follow a certain path, but this one person went off that path. He stepped on a butterfly. This independant reaction caused several other dependant reactions which were dependant on the independant reaction (stepping on the butterfly). This caused several other chain reactions, which ultimately changed history. So when he came back into the future everything was different.

The point is: Is it possible in reality to change history?

If you went back into history, and changed history on your time line? Could you? If you did, would you appear in another parallel universe when you traveled back to where you were?

Are there actually multi universes? I heard from someone this can't be true because it would need an infinite matter in the universe. And they say that would be impossible. I don't like the word impossible; because its complete negation. You're saying its not possible, you're saying it doesn't have A CHANCE of being possible.

Thanks.

I got a feeling that the movie would be more jurassic park than QM 101. Alot of the questions you asked a speculative, and a look at string theory or certain interpretations of QM would help. Physicists don't really bother with finding multi-verses or extra dimensions and stuff like that (i mean devoting your carrer to that).

Feynman's sum over histories can be an example. Every quantum object takes every possible path (or exists in every possible reality) until a measurement is made on it, which produces different results. Some think that each "reality" corresponds to a reality in a parellel universe, stuff like that. But then again, such stuff is highly speculative.

Multi-verses are allowed and expected in string theory. But string theory itself can be said to be speculative, so...

I don't know if time machines can make you have a sex change. I don't know how possible it is to be a grandfather and daughter at the same time. Perhaps some far-out solution to the equations of special relativity can help.

Yes, that is the movie I'm talking about.

I understand that the what-the-bleep-do-we-know movie is funded by some sort of cult thing and has quantum theory "experts" who are a bunch of mystic hippies. :grumpy:

The butterfly-stepped-on-changes-history story is originally by Ray Bradbury, I think. I seem to remember reading it in school. The Simpsons parody it in one Halloween episode, with Homer going back in time because of his toaster, I think it was. :biggrin:
 
  • #6
That's not quite true. David Albert is one of those experts. Although he is famous for supporting the "many minds" interpretation, he has written several very clear and accurate phillosophical books about the foundations of quantum mechanics.

However, despite this I have heard that the movie is a load of bleep, although I haven't seen it myself yet.

^ yes indeed, i saw the website, the only thing remotely scientific imo is the wall paper which showed the lines of particle decay. But if it generates interest in quantum physics, then that's a good thing.

Here you say:There are much less problems in traveling to the future than in the past. ..the reason being is the future has NOT happened, it does not exist?..you have aboslutely no chance of Stamping on a Butterfly, Pupae or Caterpiller, all do not prevail in a non-existing Future!..you can be almost certain this event has not occurred (Future Stomping)..because we are all still here in the present time discussing Past and Present events.

You state:If you were to travel in the past, you would make an entire timeline of yourself. You could be your grandfather, daugther, etc? How do you explain the fact that all previous 'Happened' events dictate and create Present Time Realities?..you cannot change something that has allready Happened?..you can ONLY change events that have not actually Happened?..I know this appears contradictory with my reply to your first 'Future Time' quote, but there is a fundamental reason.

You got it:Anyway, if you made a time machine. You couldn't go back in time before the time machine was made..since it didn't exist. The machine is made from perishable materials?..if for instance the machine consists of Bio-Degradable products, the journey would inflict the products to decay more rapidly, therefore you would be vaporized by fact that the machine would be going off into a decay tangent that would not protect you.

A "Time-Machine" has to be immune from Time's impact upon it!..it has to be a 'TIMELESS' product!

I disagree... and disagree VERY strongly. This movie doesn't generate interest in quantum physics. It generates an interest in outlandish and unproven metaphysics, while at the same time, manages to bastardized established physics. The general public already has a problem separating between scientific evidence, and anecdotal/unproven/bogus/etc evidence. This movie simply blurs the boundary even more and mixes what is physics with hocus pocus.

It is of my opinion that this movie does more HARM than good regarding physics.

I agree with you zapperz on the account that the movie itself is not very scientific and the website is full of new age sh*it. Heck, heavy metal makes water turn cloudy?

But I think that quantum physics is a very underexposed branch of science among the general public. And heck, some may even want to know more about it, and at least get some popular physics books regarding this (which points them in a correct direction).

Its almost like an argument among say, a group of real hardcore heavy metal fans. They argue whether this newer band, while it don't really capture the true essence of heavy metal,and its a little bit "pop", is it any good for the metal community? It is not good because it does not play "real" metal, it is good because it gets more people interested in metal, and hopefully,these new converts would be inspired look for some "real" metal bands.

While the general public could stand more exposure to accurate and sober descriptions of quantum physics, they surely don't need any more of the nutty "Fred Alan Wolf" style nonsense that this movie seems to promote (I haven't seen it). Bookstore shelves overflow with it already.

Well, Wave's hand particle, I study more macroscopic bodies such as black holes.

I'm 16, and still learning calculus :/

So, sorry if some of my theories are incorrect, I'm still learning.

I get great joy after school in teaching mathematics to the students for school credits, on my own time at school.

I remember in Science last year when I was a sophmore, atoms were the hardest to understand. I was very good at physics with macroscopic bodies we see everyday on our planet (Cars, etc.)

However, atoms can be very confusing and unpredictable.

It was mainly about atoms converging from one energy level to another.
How many eletrons most atoms need to be stable. Was it 8?

Anyway, it was very simplistic freshmen class, heh.

I HATED it, the atoms were so annoying and confusing. I still had a 112 percent in the class, the highest grade of all the students in all 6 periods.

When we got to light, and sound, I did the best in that. It was exciting, learning about radiation, the light spectrum, and that all light is really a spectrum of colors.

One thing I do not understand is this:

If light has a finite speed, (186,000 miles per second) why can't we reach it? I know this is a fast speed..but why does light have so many paradoxes if its a finite speed?

I don't know why, but I *think* it is because EVERYTHING we see has light reflecting off of it. If it didn't, we wouldn't see it!

Anyway, hoping someone can clear this up for me.

Oh yeah, wavehandparticle, here's a link I found out about a scientist actually creating a time machine by twisting spacetime though lasers:

Nice call caribou. I was wondering if anyone else remembered that story. Of course the original ends when the hunting party returns to the present to discover a despot has won the recent election. The story closes with the phrase "the sound of thunder" which was the last thing heard by the dude who squished the butterfly as the hunting guide shot him... I'm in high demand when trivia night rolls around.

Goodness Zapper, I cringe in horror during just about any kind of futuristic film. Some of the liberties they take with plain old Newtonian physics is enough to set off the cow pie alarm in a grade schooler. My personal favorite is the 'evils of science' genre where they expose the terrible abuses heaped upon humanity by dimwitted, arrogant scientists. I was so annoyed after watching 'The China Syndrome' I wanted to put my foot in James Bridges' donkey. Personally, I'm looking forward to the TV movie "Black Hole" scheduled for release in 2005

Plot Outline: An experiment at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island goes catastrophically awry...

QuantamTheory, Space and Time are inversly proportional.. They are so linked that we should NEVER just say space, but we do. Truely as Einstien said, its Space-time.

As you move faster in space you take from time... Time slows. And as you go faster you come up to the point where there is no more time to give. Hence you cannot got faster.

But there is a difference. Those movies are fictional as in "sci-fi". This movie in question is a "documentary", and touted itself to have "real" physicists (or experts). I hate to think that for most people, this is their first (and probably ONLY) source of info about quantum mechanics.

And speaking about BNL and Blackholes, I've mentioned this before on here a long time ago, but the Comedy Central did a "report" on the possible creation of black holes at RHIC after the brouhaha created by Frank Wilczek's article. The report aired on John Stewart's The Daily Show, and I appeared on that for about 1 1/2 seconds! They were filming at the NSLS instead since they could not get access to RHIC, and I was still working as a postdoc there when they were filming it. I still have a bad copy of the tape which I show to everyone I can to accumulate my 15-minute worth of fame. I still have around 14 minutes left! :)

Acknowledged. Calling it a documentary makes bad thing even worse. Unfortunately, people see crap like that and tend to take it to heart, no matter what you call it [a conspiracy theory thing, I suppose]. After 'the China Syndrome' came out, people who knew I worked in nuclear deluged me with well intended [and equally well misinformed] questions about all the hazards. Explaining they were ridiculously overblown by the movie seemed, seemed on the whole, to create even more suspicion. It got to where I amused myself by telling particularly incredulous souls:

"Yes, there are problems. Why do suppose the NRC is always hanging around plants? You think they just show up at random to do inspections? Of course not. It would be much too expensive to hire enough people to ensure all plants are safe. When they do show up something awful has happened and their job is to make sure it doesn't leak to the public causing mass hysteria, power outages and economic disaster. I'd tell you more, but both of our lives would be in danger."

I am certain that the link provided:http://www.walterzeichner.com/thezfiles/timetravel.html [Broken] I have seen before, I can only give my own personal opinion, so its not worth commenting on.

One thing I do understand is that you can 'mimic' light-speed effects in many un-real events, just take a look at QM, it uses variables that are 'virtual', as if untouched by SR and GR.

Falsifying your speed Relative an observer and observation does not mean you exceed 'actual' speed relative to Light, to counter this effect what you need to do is actually remain MOTIONLESS!..being still with respect to everything else that is in motion,..and that would of course invoke a PERFECT frame of Universal reference!

I would really like more input on this movie. I go to a Religious Science church and this movie was shown to a group of students.

The jumps in logic and the spotty psuedo-science in the movie was insulting to me. My minister is under the assumption that the scientific conclusions presented in the movie are true.

Loved that simpsons episode. Classic.

Very classic theme, and already overdone theme.

Religion and science are not incompatible. SCientific people and religion are not uncompatible. Religious people and science are uncompatible.

The movie, What the Bleep do we Know!?, was flawed in many ways and seemingly failed to make a splash in the scientific community. The makers, who are part of the community known as the Ramtha School of Enlightenment, stated that their work was not geared towards recruiting for their community, though, you can't help but see that their ideals and philosophies are strung all throughout the movie tagged with the claim of being "scientific" and "logical." (Ramtha's school seems suspiciously similar to a very diluted form of the Illuminati, though that's just speculation.)
 
  • #25
Franz,
I absolutely love that statement. Very simple and lucid.

As sad as it is, I'm starting to see it's true.

I have contacted a dozen university professors as well as Religious Science representatives. ALL of the professors got back to me within 24 hours but I have not a single response from any church source.

I have been beating my head against the wall. It's the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in my life: The truth and documentation is right there in front of our church family but no one wants to even look at it. They are very happy believing the misinformation and will take no effort to even review anything to the contrary.

To me, that's part of the definition of a cult. Perhaps I've been part of one and didn't know it before.

Wow. I just watched this movie and I cannot believe people actually buy into this garbage. Even the layman should realize it's BS when they start talking about forming water crystals by praying and claiming that the crime rate dropped by 25% when a bunch of people meditated all at once. :confused:
 
  • #27
i saw this movie with my ex-fiance (that stupid, good for nothing, i can't believe he left me for that stupid tramp...) and he thought it was great... (but he's not exactly the mr. genius) i thought it was meh. It wasn't really even about quantum physics... like, at all. By the end of the film, there were like no references to physics at all... some chemistry stuff maybe... mostly pseudo-sciency stuff. I was really dissapointed actually. I heard people talking in the theater though, they were like "wow, physics is so interesting," and "this stuff is so amazing," or "i think my cousin's nephew is into physics or something, i'll have to ask him if he knows about this stuff." heh, some old lady (it was mostly old people actually,) and i just leaned over and i was like, "if he's into physics, he probably will tell you this movie is crap." heh... she was a bit scandalized cause i said crap... but it was ok. she lived.

anyways, i tried telling my dummy boy-at-the-time about the physics that they were totally skewing... but he didn't get it... or care...

i did meet one person who saw the movie though and he gave him a serious interest in physics. He's a chem student, but really into philosophy, and then he saw the movie and got really interested. He even started asking me questions about circuits and magnets a little while ago. He says physics is really interesting now. so that was cool...

anyways, I'm mixed about it. the movie blowed, but I'm glad it generates interest... even if its a bit misguided i guess. there should just be a warning at the begining, you know like "this video is not suitable for impressionable, gullable, or otherwise dimwitted audiences. This film reflects the personal biases of its producers, for real physics, please consult your local library."

heh, ya...

Maybe it's a great sci-fi flick, but as the documentary it claims to be it’s both misinformed and misleading.

The general public does not need to know about quantum mechanics.

What the general public needs is lessons on doing elementary algebra; understanding what makes for a logical/scientific argument; learning what elements, compounds, atoms and molecules are; knowing that Africa is not a country and that Nigeria is;...I could go on.

Removing the didacticism from that statement, the general public needs to be independently capable of learning about the physical world. The Victorians didn't learn about the world from going to school. Why should anyone, except to escape the horrors of employment?

Who knows, maybe Africa will become a country someday. England is a country and yet it's part of the UK, a much larger country. :confused:

It even won awards...

I just watched this. And was so disgusted I had to find some like minded people so I came to PF (haven't been here since Feb last year(studies etc.)).

What really gets me is that they got awards! 5 infact, 2 are audience awards though, so don't count. But these two...

Apr 5, 2004 - Ashland Independent Film Festival 2004
Best Documentary
"...this is one of those films you want everyone on the planet to see." Ashland Independent Film Festival

Mar 11, 2004 - DC Independent Film Festival 2004
Grand Jury Documentary
"...this amazing award winning film is a radical departure from convention. It demands a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far unknown, indeed, not even dreamed of since Copernicus." Washington DC Independent Film Festival

Peuwwww!

What if I make a documentary that that conclusively shows that Jesus was a dedicated Bhuddist. Am I going to get "Thought provoking" and such trash awards? I sure hope that somebody will look into my research before giving me an award, why did it not happen here?

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!

Why didn't anybody tell me of this before the movie? I'm going to slap my Professor.
