Has Anyone Seen This Movie?
At the Emergent Conference this last weekend, I watched the movie, What The Bleep Do We Know!?. Yes, that's what it is called. I'm not censoring any words.
Has anyone seen this film? I had heard about it, and was told it was good. But I'm one of those people who would like to be able to tell people I see the movies playing at your local art theater, but I usually never get around to it.
Anyways, the movie is about quantum physics/mechanics, and how the discoveries in that field of science are beginning to shape some views of reality, perception and other sensory data, that are different than we have thought.
The movie tends to get pretty "new agey", but some of the hypothesis' and conclusions of quantum physics raise some interesting questions for the intersection of theology and science.
I found it to be very intriguing. And all I want to do now is read up on quantum physics, especially in the area of theology.
Any thoughts? Any good book recommendations?
I keep hearing about this guy John Polkinghorne, who after 25 years of teaching in a lucrative position as Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge, left to devote himself to the study of theology. I have not read any of his books, but would like to.
By the way. John Polkinghorne is not in the movie, but check out the articles below for some fascinating ideas.
