The film tells the story of the man Einstein called his “spiritual son” and the Dalai Lama his “science guru.” A brilliant physicist and explorer of consciousness, Bohm’s profound insights into the underlying nature of reality and the profound interconnectedness of the universe and our place within it are truly far-reaching.

Was a good watch thinman

Pleased he didn’t get involved in the Manhattan Project.

The act of inward observing (sensations emotions ) changes what is observed .

I saw the movie. It was thought-provoking, but some of its claims don't stand up to evidence-based scrutiny:

In the movie, it was claimed that a trained monk, by meditating in a focused way onto a glass of water, can cause the water molecules to assume an ordered structure. Well, if water molecules are assuming an ordered structure, that would mean that the water has become a solid (ice). I challenge that claim to be tested in a reputable laboratory! If meditation can cause water to freeze, that would sure save on electricity bills! A solution for electricity overconsumption, and the resulting fossil fuel pollution! The producers of that movie owe it to the world to develop this ice-freezing technology (and its refrigeration and air conditioning applications) for the sake of climate change mitigation! Oh, but wait - the all-powerful petroleum lobby would probably stop it from happening, just like they stopped the electric car, the worldwide proliferation of wind/solar power, and the LED light bulb - oh, wait.

The movie also claims that, during the arrival of Christopher Columbus into the western hemisphere continents, the first nations people were literally unable to see the approaching ships, because the forms and technology of those ships were so different from what those people were familiar with. Please - those people may have never seen such large watercraft, but they certainly could see the big, dark shapes coming towards them. The Arawakan people (the first nation inhabitants of Columbus' landing point, in present-day Venezula) already had boats, after all.


And f**ing save me from all the New Age misinterpretation of quantum physics. It's being used to dupe and defraud the public. How about buying a miraculous "quantum pendant", which claims to stop the spread of cancer? Quantum Energy Pendant . What a load of ****.
