The Quantum Activist (2009)
There is a revolution going on in science. A genuine paradigm shift. While mainstream science remains materialist, a substantial number of scientists are supporting and developing a paradigm based on the primacy of consciousness. Amit Goswami, Ph.D., a pioneer of this revolutionary new perspective within science, shares with us his vision of the unlimited potential of consciousness as the ground of all being, and how this revelation can actually help us to live better. The Quantum Activist 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 world’s major religions and mystical traditions. Meet the man behind the message…

Good movie but grossly overrated
Good concept, poorly executed.
Fantastic!
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Yes this film is the educated intuitions of one informed person but all innovative thinkers will inevitably appear as lone voices as they begin to awaken our curiosity in a new possibility that challenges conventional ways of knowing about reality. An open mind will lead one to reflect on a key line in this film, " everything that exists is God. nothing exists that is not God ". The essence of this film is a very important guide to understanding our daily experiences of a very complex universe. The film's suggestion that by intentionally and genuinely directing our focus on living in harmony with our best intuitions we may well create a better community environment to enjoy living in, strikes a powerful chord within me. For those of you who get this suggestion, I know you will keep living more thoughtfully and sharing your enjoyment with those who are open to exploring this. Enjoy your journey girls and guys. Take Care, Will
I really found this documentary interesting. It seemed a lot less about quantum mechanics and seemed more about causing change to your surroundings through the imposition of will. The documentary asks some interesting concepts, such as "does reality cause thought, or does thought cause reality?" and "where does choice actually come from?" and "what is the real nature of God?" This documentary is more about philosophy than science, but it is ultimately quite interesting.Apparently there is a fascinating concept in quantum mechanics that essentially states that all objects are essentially manifested possibilities of objects. The author then puts forth the idea that force of will and intent can shape the possibilities and turn them into manifestations. Being a Wiccan, I can totally relate to the idea of visualization and imposition of will as tools of making change to one's environment.
It is about a man and how he came to an idea that solves a major paradox of quantum physics. I can see how some would dismiss it because of some of the terms used but in context and with a sharp mind you will find that it fits with modern physics. If you can connect the various terms that different physicists use and imagine the underlying nature of what they are all trying to describe I would say that the man in this documentary adds to that picture using his background as a physics professor and scientist and using the language of his own cultural perspective.I appreciate different perspectives on the same subject and this film has a great idea presented in an interesting fashion with plenty of context and a good explanation. I wouldn't use it as a sole source of information on the subject of physics but then there are no such sources to be found. One simply has to search far and wide according to your own capabilities and ways of thinking.
Movies like this are doomed to instant and total dismissal by people who think they know everything.Why? Because they propose possibilities that people are totally unwilling to consider, even for a moment.This movie has one purpose, and that's to show you one man's point of view so that you can integrate his thoughts and insight into your own understanding of the universe you live in. But the people who trash it don't see it that way, they see it as "sparkly-eyed peddling of nonsense" and dismiss it entirely.I would never say that this movie is totally truthful or correct. The point of it is that the universe we live in is a very complex place, far too complex for us to really understand, and the only way we can broaden and increase our understanding of it is to BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS, open to the possibility that what we currently think MIGHT be wrong. That's exactly what the high-horse riders who wrote the leading reviews for this movie do not, cannot and will not ever be willing to do. And that's why they're annoying and pretentious.I'm not going to say this movie is totally brilliant, perfect, true, etc. But I will say that it is worth seeing and worth thinking about if you're the type of person who is genuinely interested in developing and improving his or her understanding of humanity, reality, god, and the universe. But since I think most people don't fall into that category, I understand why most people will find it worthless.
