Actually??"What the Bleep Do We Know?"??was anything and everything??BUT a farce of a movie. One writer's critique cannot undermine years of work in the field of Quantum Physics by legitimate physicists.

However I have no counter arguement for the utilization of 'Ramtha' in the interview portion of the movie as she is not scientifically qualified to??speak about anything.

David Albert, who was offered in the review as a 'real' scientist whose views did not coincide with the movie is not even a Quantum Physicist but a philosopher of physics at Columbia University.

I would have to disagree with the statement that Ramtha and a chiropractor held the majority of screen time. That simply is inaccurate and not at all true. I've seen the movie numerous times and would invite you to do the same to see this for yourself.

I would say that 3/4 of the interviews in the movie were with??well-known Quantum Physicists who have been respected members of their field LONG before this movie was even created.

Most notably...

Dr. Amit Goswami, Ph.D. http://www.whatthebleep.com/scientists/#Goswami

Dr. Fred Alan Wolfe, Ph.D. http://www.whatthebleep.com/scientists/ci#Wolf

Dr. John Hagelin, Ph.D. http://www.whatthebleep.com/scientists/#Hagelin

The author of the review for the movie is a Mr. Gregory Mone. I do not see any credentials in the article nor in a generalized Google search nor in the??staff details of POPSCI.com which would suggest he himself is a Quantum Physicist. Therefore as he is clearly a layperson in the field he can only render his opinion which may or may not be based in any facts.

Surely you are not suggesting that the field of Quantum Physics is a farce as well? I am more than willing to supply documentation to support the validity of an entire field of science if so need be.

As to the Wikipedia link I would first say as you well know Wikipedia??can be??edited by anyone and everyone. No one must verify their submissions with any Quantum Physics credentials before editing an entry on Wikipedia.

The Quantum Physicists who were actually interviewed in the movie??have long established careers in Quantum Physics and have written not only a multitude of books on the subject but also have contributed verifiable articles to scientific journals in their respective fields as well.

Let me say that my objective in defending this work is??not solely for the sake of argument but is rooted in the fact that this movie is an invaluable resource for non-scientific minds exploring Quantum Theories. It is the most accessible explanation of the very paradoxical field of Quantum Physics.

Therefore one layperson's glib review on a website specifically designed to debunk pseudo-science does not discredit the movie in the least. And for such a piece of work to be cast aside because of a unverifiable Wikipedia entry is equally pointless.

Mr. Mone??of??POPSCI.com??very carefully neglected to mention the three Quantum Physicists who WERE interviewed extensively who are regarded as powerhouses in the field and are unquestionably experts. These same physicists echoed the comments?? made by the very unscientific 'Ramtha' and the chiropractor, who frankly I cannot even remember being interviewed at all.

The point being that these resources do not undermine or discredit "What the Bleep Do We Know?" in the least. If anything these??sources because of their own lack??of creditability??only lend a greater validity to the movie's scientific accuracy.

I will also note that although Dr. Marasu Emoto's work was mentioned in the??movie, there was no mention in Mr. Mone's review of discrediting??him nor any of the other bonafide scientists.??Why??do you think??that is?

I've never heard of this...but I agree. I like how everything's connected and the human mind is??a brilliant, if complex, thing. Slightly off topic here, but is it true that we only use like??a small percentage of our brain? And, if so, if we used our brains to their fullest extent what do you think we'd be able to do? My friend reckons that we'd be all telekinetic...then again he's strange, so maybe we should ignore him

You might consider printing out the data on this scientific theory and 'showing' them that it's completely possible. That oughta get 'em going. LOL

I understand why you would conclude that Nalesnik but I am not entirely certain that there isn't evidence of the ability to really earthbend. However I will need a few days to research it.

My first thought is that sometimes people are given super-human strength in emergency situations. There have been documented cases??where men or women of usual strength have been able to lift entire cars off a trapped loved ones?? through sheer??will alone.

However I am unsure if that??unique once-in-a-lifetime ability could be??offered as an example of possible earthbending since it is not related to??earth, rocks and stones specifically.

I will have to research this.

You might consider watching "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and the sequel "Down the Rabbit Hole." These movies are positively about Quantum Physics and theories but astoundingly they also offer mankind a way to 'recreate' their reality. So instead of steam-rolling ourselves into oblivion and being thrilled to death about it, there??may be a way to circumvent the dire end which doesn't have anything to do with electing the right leaders or making environmentally-friendly laws and so forth. (Those things of course are the ideal, but we have to start somewhere)

The 'Qasti' triology (Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi and Naqqyqatsi) is also a must-see if you are interested in Hopi Native American prophecy and the crucial turning points for planet earth. The first movie alone took seven years to complete. (1975-1982)??

These movies have NO spoken words whatsoever, only images and music. The movie titles??are actually Hopi words:

'Koyaanisqatsi' means 'life out of balance' as in planet earth is out of balance with it's environment.

'Powaqqatsi,' which is a conjunctive from the Hopi word 'Powaqa'??which is the word for??'an evil sorcerer who lives at the expense of others.'

'Naqqyqatsi' means literally 'civilized violence' or a people who live a life of killing each other??with war as a way of life.

At one time??these movies were available to rent through Blockbuster. I am not sure if this is still the case but they are definitely worth finding and seeing at least once.

Do you remember the source cited on the Stargate SG-1 forum because I've read evidence to the contrary published by medical doctors who have performed CT scans??which prove otherwise?

No worries Taang_Forever I believe you read it even if you had not been able to find the source. I just would like to read it too to see if I can draw the same conclusions to counter what I already know.
