hey all
 
i've been away for the summer, so i don't know if people have already mentioned this movie:
 
you should all go see "what the #%^$ do we know" playing now at the metreon. its a docu-drama type film which explores the boundaries of quantum mechanics, philosophy, religion, neurobiology, and society. there are interviews with leading scientists which surround a fantasy story plot mixed with psychedelic animation. the ideas presented are thought provoking and deep--they are on the edge and will definately get you thinking.
 
for most of the first half of the movie i was thinking "oh, i HAVE TO show this to my students" but the second half of the movie takes a few too many swipes at GOD and organized religion to be appropriate for the classroom.
 
it's great to see filmakers taking on such an intellectual and controversial topic.
 
enjoy!
