What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? plot

"Time to get wise."

Amanda (Marlee Matlin), wakes up in an Alice in Wonderland-like world. Her hitherto uninteresting life is unraveled down to the molecular and quantum level. She discovers that her neurological processes involve uncertainty and the question is whether reality is real or just her perception of reality.

Despite the fact that most of the theory about quantum physics has not really penetrated, this was an interesting documentary. Some topics were fascinating and made me think.

The problem with this documentary is that the acted images add nothing and make it all quite messy.

Do I want to delve further into this? I don't think so, it's just too complicated for me.

3*

If you see this less as an established truth (because science never is) but as stimulating theories or even just speculation, then you can see this film as informative and also as an object of discussion. I think this film invites you to that in a cheerful way and that is worth points. It certainly isn't bullshit all the time.

Scientifically there is now a lot of interest in an ubiquitous energy field that contains information. And there is research into dark matter that you cannot perceive, etc. That is what Buddhists, for example, also assume.

And this book is also interesting. Have you ever seen the pictures of the ice crystals? I would like to add the comment that the experimenter himself cannot like heavy metal, but Mozart and can influence the result with his own emotion. That must of course be ruled out.

People who uncritically suck up everything, better skip this movie.

But beyond that: Keep your mind open. Not everything is bullshit because science is currently proclaiming it as non-existent. Our instruments are not yet able to record and measure everything that is available. The proof of this is the progress in science itself.

Wouldn't the story with the deaf-mute woman parallel our condition as human beings?

Indeed, what the bleep do we know?

What a bizarre feel good propaganda documentary/film. The moralistic pseudo-scientists in between were very annoying and may I give them a one-way ticket to Syria. But the whole thing was nice tripping nonsense, that's why 2 *
