Film What the BLEEP do we know?

^ You mean the one who said he was grossly misquoted?

 

[psychetool]

I never heard that, can you provide a link ? What the fuck was this four level body biosuit he was talking about anyways? He still said that fucking shit, he's probably just trying to cover his ass from looking like a lunatic. Smart people seem to have a tendancy for eccentricity...

 

[lostpunk5545]

^ Check my previous posts in this thread

 

[psychetool]

Ok, so he never intended his veiws about quantum physics to relate with conciousness.... Motherfucker should be smart enough to sign a good contact, but I guess not!

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THIS FOUR LAYER BIOBODY SUIT?!!?!?!! It sounds like some kind of suit (our body, duuuur!) that simply houses conciousness and interpretes outside signals.

Wasn't she the ramtha leader ? You know it is possible to be the leader of a religious organization and a scientist also. Perhaps she had formal training ?

haven't read anything about her, eh? in any case, it's not her they're claiming is a scientist (she's not) but ramtha himself.

Dude, the woman runs a compound where people study her garbage. If you have ever seen the Simpsons episode with the cult, this is like the Movementarians. Her formal training consists of the night that she supposedly met the 35,000 year old god that she "channels".

Her opinion? You mean "Ramtha's" opinion -- the 35,000 year old warrior spirit she is channeling throughout the film lol

Great article, by the way.

Open up your mind a little, jeez. You dont have to consider it all scientific, but philosophically speaking this movie had a lot of great things to say, IMO.

 

[glitterbizkit]

^^ I agree. What's wrong with watching the movie with an open mind, if only to compare the religious and philosophic views with your own (and others')?
As for the whole ramtha thing... I read a review before I actually watched the movie, that mentioned the ramtha cult and how the movie was a subtle way to brainwash people into joining the cult.. even after I had read that, when I watched the movie I didn't notice *anything* cult-like about it.

As for the scientific claims made in the movie... I thought they were a bit flimsy and I would have liked it if they had elaborated more. I do believe in this 'creating your own reality', though maybe not to the extent that was shown in the movie...
And yea, as I said before, the part about the deaf woman was just so sappy and bored me to death.

Is it so different then going into a giant building with hundreds of other people to sing praises and communicate with a guy who has been dead for 10,000 ? (Or however old JC was, you get the picture.) All religions are cults, and it's not some *bad* thing to be involved with one if you actually beleive in it.

Honestly I had no idea about ramtha until I read this thread. I didn't see her channeling any spirits or pushing her religion at all. Did I miss something ?

 

[lostpunk5545]

^ Precisely. Christianity if fucking stupid too.

Do you mean open my mind or be too stupid to bother with science and instead live life making up stupid things?

And the fact of the matter is this movie claims to be scientific. It doesn't claim to be philosophical.

The fucking title "What the bleep do we know" is an obvious condescending jibe at science. What makes it most funny is that this movie is made by a bunch of nutjobs. And some people bought into it.

 

[MynameisnotDeja]

I guess you are calling me a nutjob then..because the things talked about in this movie run almost parallel with my person views. I know what you are saying..although I hadnt really heard that many claims about the film before I watched it. What parts of this movie's "science" did you not agree with, out of curiosity? Are you talking about just the water experiment?

 

[lostpunk5545]

^ I'm not calling you a nutjob. It's just annoying to me that rather than bothering to look into science many people keep believing in things that seem daft to me. I guess High School biology changed my life.

I believe in the right of anyone to believe in anything they want, I just don't think that many "open-minded" people ever gave science a fair go.

I pretty much disagree with all of the "science" in the movie in which it strays from conventional accepted science, into made up gobbledegook. This quote from a person on the imdb board sums it up for me:

"A drop of 25% in the murder rate in DC happened to coincide with a bunch of folks meditating. Wow, what a rigorous scientific study. I'm sure that someone ate cheerios for four days straight during the same time. Should we conclude that eating cheerios caused a drop in the murder rate? "

I realise that my last few posts seemed a bit vicious, I like most people just believe fervently in what I believe in. So sorry if I have offended you in any way.

 

[asmodeus256]

just watched this movie today. and i must say. it blew my mind.

even though there was no info in this movie that i haven't heard of before.

this movie lies perfectly within my paradigm. and from what i read/hear, others as well.

i believe we are at a special time in human history. we have the ability to band together and consciously evolve and create our realities.

a universal paradigm shift is coming.

LOL, has ANYONE else tried these water experiments? And we all know the addage that every snow flake is unique? Well what they were making were snowflakes....so obviously every photo was going to be different.

I bet you that they could not get a constant looking snowflake for a particular word. ANY MONEY.

Everytime they would try I bet you it would form a different snowflake.

With SHIT like that in the movie touted as FACT, how the fuck am I supposed to believe anything else that is said??

 

[John Candy]

^^ Well....myyy God....I posted that last post ^^ before I was half way through the movie, and lemmie tell ya...My comments still stand! It was the most new agey, spritual, mumbo jumbo shit that I have seen in a while. Too much LSD for the people who made this film. Aaand the lead chick. Way to go making her into a schizto nutjob.

This film should only be taken with a teeny tiny grain of salt, granted there are parts of the movie that have snippets of value to them, but most of what was said was useless crap that can be found in any of your favourite new age book.

The producers of this film have obviously seen "The Elegant Universe" (you know, the one about string theory) and have capitalized on its success.

Most of what has been said by some people here I agree with totally and so as not to waste time repeating it, here a few select quotes.

I pretty much disagree with all of the "science" in the movie in which it strays from conventional accepted science, into made up gobbledegook

What makes it most funny is that this movie is made by a bunch of nutjobs

its just a fucking fictional movie with a few 'real' aspects to it.

the fact that one of the consulting "scientists" is a 35000 year old "spirit-warrior" from atlantis who speaks through his channeler is sort of telling, if you ask me.

This film is cult propaganda for Ramtha's School of Enlightenment. It's a joke, and a hilariously stupid one at that

If anything, this film only beautifully illustrates the logical fallacy of "cherry picking." In typical cult fashion, it preys on the ignorant.

Please, by all means, state these disingenuously provided "hard facts." Humor me. Are they the "anti-gravity magnets", or "spirits in the four-layered bio-body suits infecting the quantum field." LOL. Or how about emotion as "holographically-imprinted chemicals."

Wow a pseudo-science cult movie. I'll take a shotgun to my face before I'm forced to watch this bullshit.

^^Trust me, a shotgun in the face would be a lot more entertaining than this shit.

Although I suppose you could just THINK that the shotgun didn't shoot you in the face and TA-DAA!! Your face is back to normal.....uhhh right?

Ultimately, piece of shit movie 1 out of 10.

Cheers.

What the (bleep) do we know about it?

Has anyone else seen this film? It revolves around a series of interviews with quantum physicists, biologists and spiritualists who delve into how the mind perceives reality and questions the mechanistic paradigm through which we understand it. They use quantam physics to demonstrate how the mind's role as an observer effects matter, which exists only as waves of infinite super positioned possibilities until observed when it is forced to adopt a fixed point in space and time and we experience it in its particle form, hence the observer can effectively choose their reality when the mind interacts with the possibility waves on a quantum level and selects a particle form to observe.

Anyone interested in reality, quantum physics and/or spirituality really should check this out...

UTFSE!!!!!

i want to see this

 

[John Candy]

^^Trust me I would rather look at goatse than watch this fucking movie again. Please read what I and a lot of other people have written on it, and also go to the links provided by lostpunk5545.

It's a piece of propoganda for the "you are everything and everything is you" philosophy on life. Maybe I hate it so much because I hate that philosophy so much, but it really is a laughable attempt at bringing science and spirituallity together.

UTFSE!!!!!

Heh...

 

[kaleekat]

that movie was weird.. kinda boring.. the acting was ridiculous.. but the philosophical things the doctors and professors said were amazing. that's what made it a good movie.
