Is This Quantum Mechanics Documentary Worth Your Time?

  • Thread starter Ki Man

In summary, the conversation discusses a documentary on quantum mechanics that is deemed to be poorly made by one of the participants. The documentary contains some explanations on the subject but is primarily speculative and not worth watching. The participants also mention a specific scene in the documentary that they find particularly problematic. They agree that it is not worth discussing further.

I don't mean to offend anybody but personally I think this documentary is what happens when you give half-asleep film students with a short attention span a quick 2 minute explanation of the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Dont get me wrong, it has some good everyday explanations of schrodinger and other theories dealing with possibilities, but it is far too speculative.

The thing about that movie that bugs me the most is that "talking to the water" crap.

Yes, which is why we don't waste any time/effort discussing it here. Not even in GD.
 

1. What is "What the @#$% do we know?"

"What the @#$% do we know?" is the title of a documentary film released in 2004. It explores the intersection of science and spirituality through interviews with experts in the fields of physics, neuroscience, and consciousness.

2. Who made "What the @#$% do we know?"

The film was created by William Arntz, Betsy Chasse, and Mark Vicente, who also directed and produced it. They were inspired by the work of JZ Knight, a self-proclaimed spiritual teacher who claimed to channel a 35,000-year-old entity called Ramtha.

3. Is "What the @#$% do we know?" scientifically accurate?

The film presents a mix of scientific concepts and spiritual beliefs, and there has been some criticism of its accuracy. Some scientists featured in the film have since stated that their views were misrepresented or taken out of context. It is important to approach the film with a critical eye and do further research on the topics presented.

4. What topics are covered in "What the @#$% do we know?"

The film covers a range of topics, including quantum physics, neuroscience, and the nature of reality. It also delves into the concept of consciousness and how it may influence our perception of the world.

5. Can "What the @#$% do we know?" change your perspective on life?

The film is thought-provoking and may challenge some viewers' beliefs about the world and their place in it. However, it is ultimately up to the individual to determine the impact it may have on their perspective on life.
