In summary, the conversation discusses the film "Down The Rabbit Hole," its credibility, and the opinions of the speakers and information presented in the film. The general consensus is that the movie is not credible and should not be taken seriously due to its misinterpretation of quantum mechanics and promotion of pseudo scientific practices. It is also mentioned that the movie is an extended version of the previously released film "What The Bleep Do We Know."

Down The Rabbit Hole...?

Hi to all,

I've been watching Down The Rabbit Hole and was wondering the credibility
of the speakers and information.

Cheers

I haven't seen this film but from what I know of the contents nothing in it is science. It is a religious documentary, with the word "quantum" scattered throughout in random places. Give it exactly as much credibility as you would give to spokespersons of the Transcendental Meditation movement in any other context.

That movie is a joke. I'm surprised they were able to dupe a couple of Phd scientists into an interview. And who's behind this? That new age colored T-shirt crystal worshiper lady, forgot her name.

Most likely the same crackpot junk as What the Bleep. I wouldn't bother watching it.

I forget her name, but I'm pretty sure the guy she is "channeling" from 50,000 years ago is named Ramtha!:rofl:

Seriously though, The movie is not credible. As waht says, it's a joke. The word credible should not be used in the same sentence as this movie. It takes quantum mechanics and misinterprets it to make it look like it supports a slew of pseudo scientific practices which the theory, in reality, does not offer any evidence for.

It's actually the exact same movie. I mean, "Down the Rabbit Hole" is just the extended-directors-cut DVD edition of What The Bleep Do We Know.
