Movie Reviews of What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole (QUANTUM Three-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Thought provoking and potentially life changing
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that like many theories (science or otherwise) Quantum physics produces a mental model or conceptual model of how reality is. In this case it's a way of visualizing what is happening in the experiments in those particle accelerators. Language, including mathematics (wich is just a language too,) is more or less a set of symbols that point to that wich they are describing. A way to fit what is experienced into a framework we can wrap are heads around. The verification for it, like most theories about how reality works, comes not from the irrefutable proof that our way of thinking of it is the be all end all deepest most complete mental model of the world there is... But rather, it's verification comes from the fact that like any theory that stands the test of time..... It allows for predictions that are consistently congruent with our experience. In other words, they calculate the answer we are looking for, and they do so very well. If it didn't work for practical intents and purposes, we would have moved on to a model that gets the correct predictions. Or at least we'd be trying to move toward one. Like language, mental models of what happens in the sub-atomic realm are not the thing itself to wich it points. But a set of symbols to explain what it is pointing to.
Does the math behind it being consistent with the results of experiment REALLY mean that matter is spread out in all the probable locations, spins, velocities etc at once like a number matrix? Until a measurement is made? That, I can't tell you. But the equations do seem get the result that agrees with what we experience in experiments.
But what I DO know is this: In regards to the questions of consciousness.... My EXPERIENCE of what appears to me to be reality "out there" is profoundly effected by MY "mental model" of how reality is, and how things are "supposed to be". If I become convinced of new way of looking at the way the world is, then regardless of weather my perceptual differences and habit's of thought patterns actually have an effect on the "out there" (matter, events, etc) it's undeniably effected the way I'VE experienced that event. Wich for most people is highly relevant to their ability to be happy in the present moment. Does experiencing reality in a new way equate to changing it? Maybe or maybe not. It seems that at this point in the evolution of our consciousness, we can't get out of our finite brains and bodies and experience to test what we experience against ultimate reality, to confirm that it was purely the perceptual, or if some effect on the events was induced by that perception.
If we (any individual person) choose to be totally honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that whatever our current world view is, we don't absolutely KNOW that it's the deepest most perfect model of the highest most complete in-alterable truth of everything there is, was or will potentially be. But rather that it is merely the world view that SEEMS to be the most plausible given our current level of consciousness, and the information we have available, and how well we can reduce our bias's when analyzing our experience. And that goes for ANY person and ANY honest assessment of one's one world paradigm. It seems there is always a possibility that a deeper or more complete view of ultimate reality exists than whatever our current one is. Brainwashing oneself to believing that there could be no question that there is any inaccuracy or lack of completeness in ones world view may serve to make that person feel comfortable by taking the out of control feeling that is all to familiar to any person who has searched for a way to exist happily in the world, (wich I deeply empathize with BTW), still, it is not being very honest with oneself unless it is backed by experience. Not necessarily using exclusively a realist/materialist method of experience, but just experience of some kind.
To me, this movie is mostly about various phenomena of experience (Weather it be quantum mechanics, neuroscience, out of body, or psychic experience, emotional or psychological experience,spiritual experience or WHATEVER type) any phenomenon that makes us keep re-evalutating our "Paradigm" or model of how we think different aspects of reality are like. If it changes the reality "out there" to look at it in a different or more empowering way, then great. If not, then at least it clearly effects how we live our life, and how happy we are (while we're stuck living in this meat-suit) for the better. And that seems pretty important to me. Even if the particular world view espoused is later updated, or changed. If a paradigm becomes obsolete, then you move on. That doesn't change the fact that the old paradigm was useful for a time, and helped you get to a new and hopefully better one. And in that way, the old paradigm need not be a time to regret. But rather a time to let go of and move on in light of a new way of understanding your place in existence.
