Marcia and I headed up to Guadalajara for the weekend, again, so she could see her family and grab some warm closes for our pending trip to Los Angeles (Dec. 8th-12th).
We got in last night and had dinner with her always lovely mom, Martha, at the best pizza joint in the world, Funicula. I know I talk a lot about this place but I´ll be damned if it ain´t the best freakin´pizza evah.
After a great little dinner, Martha has the movie What the %$& Do We Know on dvd, pirata-style, so we watched it. What a great flick. If you haven´t seen it, stop what yer doing and go see it, now. It´s a documentary hybrid film. It has a filmed story mixed with documentary style interviews and computer aided animation. Some parts of the film are a bit silly, but the subject matter kicks so much ass that I´d say it´s one of the best movies I´ve seen this year. It´s that good. The subject matter is all about Quantum Physics, sounds boring but it effects everything we do, think and feel. The movie explores our personal experience, relationships, religous beliefs, how you relate to the world, how you see yourself, basically, everythign having to do with who we are and what we are. It will blow your mind, if you let it. It´s not saying anything new, that quantum scientists haven´t been saying for years, but it conveys some seriously hard concepts to grasp in easy and understandable ways. Try reading this stuff in books, zzzzz. But the story telling devices mixed with very interesting interviews and you get mind warping concepts in easily digestible nuggets.
I especially enjoyed the religious and spiritual implications brought up in the movie: Quantum Physics is completely in line with several religious philosophies including Buddhism (which I am partial to). It is a science of the experience and the farther you delve into it the more mysterious it becomes. I never understood why people latched on to ¨Intelligent Design¨ as a way to ¨prove¨ that God exists, while Quantum Physics brings an end to a thousand years of science without God. But the God of the past two centuries, a physical manifestation, is replaced by a truer God that exists within everyone and everything. It blows my mind, but I´ve felt these things for years, long before I had even heard of Quantum Physics.
Go see it, please. thank you!
thx, seems very interesting & will definitely check it out!
