What the Bleep? - Movie Revue

When it comes to quantum physics, there are few people that can accurately describe what happens - and even then, they guess. The current search for the Higgs' Boson is supposed to lead to cheap free energy. When you look at all the attention applied to ethanol and celluslose ethanol, one wonders what might happen if there were no predecided favorite in the energy field. Multiple groups working on different approaches to the same set of goals seems like it would produce a much better outcome than everybody attempting to be the first one to patent the magic enzyme that big oil will purchase and place on a shelf.

As a chemist, Dr. Lenny has thought about the production of energy by chemical means, using electrochemical potential differences between materials. But, some of the most important elements on the periodic table are no longer available to the general public and are heavily regulated by the EPA. The thrill of rolling balls of Mercury into each other to make bigger balls is a game never experienced by children learning chemistry - so the concept of surface tension never quite makes sense. How many of us understand how ore can yield metal? My first chemistry set had little blue bottles of all sorts of dangerous crap - never once did i attempt to make a meal of them. Dr. Lenny learned to taste chemicals - the tongue is a much more sensitive detector than the nose.

As i listened to the theorists discussing science and theology in the movie What the #$*! do we know, i realized that it was a completely different film from the first time i had seen it in the theatre. The 'experts' discussion was much more in tune with the comprehension that Dr. Lenny has developed by digging deeper into sacred geometry - and opening the thought pattern to input collated with less than rigorous scientific methods. Reproducibility is so intrinsic to science that if phenomena cannot be repeated, it does not exist. Formal science misses a lot of reality, usually by denial. When we can see what we expect to see, rather than what is there, then we really cannot be impartial observers. From Einstein's view, the observer must get outside the picture, yet the picture comes from continuity inside our brain. We can do only what we can do.

As the paradigm that we current accept falls apart - some of the objective lessons from this movie may be useful in rebuilding spirit within human communities. The need to control our own emotions in a manner that does not include popping pills and running ourselves ragged is the key point that came from this second viewing. Make peace with yourself. Watch this movie again, if you feel like thinking about life, the universe, and everything.
