Description
Amanda, a divorced photographer, finds herself in a fantastic Alice-in-Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel. Guided by leading scientists and mystics, she finds that if reality itself is not questionable, her notion of it certainly is. Plunge into a world where quantum uncertainity is demonstrated - where Amanda's neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived - where everything is...

"Quantum mechanics gives us a picture of the world that is so radically counterintuitive that it has changed our perspective on reality itself, raising profound questions about concepts such as cause and effect, measurement, and information. Despite its seemingly mysterious nature, quantum mechanics has a broad range of applications in fields such as chemistry, computer science, and cryptography. Quantum Mechanics gives you the logical tools to grasp...

Tells the story of a man who challenges us to rethink our very notions of existence and reality, with a force and scope not felt since Einstein. This film bridges the gap between God and science. The work of Goswami, with stunning precision and without straying from the rigors of quantum mechanics, reveals the overarching unity inherent in the worlds major religions and mystical traditions.

"Scientists agree that quantum mechanics is an incredibly successful theory, making accurate predictions for a huge variety of phenomena. However, there is much less consensus regarding the question of what this theory means about the universe. Does quantum mechanics imply the existence of many worlds? Is there a special role that is played by consciousness? Dr. Hooper discusses the various philosophical implications of this rather bizarre and incredible...

Description
"Although advocates of materialistic and deterministic science have more than once declared, "God is dead, " is this hypothesis really in keeping with the findings of quantum physics? The speaker, who is himself a physicist, suggests that within the context of quantum physics it is possible to create a plausible hypothesis that God is not dead."--Publisher.
