“My wife and I had heard enthusiastic recommendations and came to the film expecting something along the lines of u0026quot;A Brief History of Time.u0026quot; Do not bother seeing this movie if that is what youu0026#39;re expecting! I am a professor of philosophy (with my area of specialty being philosophy of science) and my wife is a professor of biology. We found about one third of the claims (in our respected fields) to be flat out false; another third were blatant hyperbole or, at best, u0026quot;poetic truthu0026quot;; the final third were, indeed, true. However, the entire film was presented as if 100% of the content was uncontested scientific Truth (with a capital u0026quot;Tu0026quot;)! Many of the claims were downright embarrassing and more in line with the claims of urban legends and/or those asinine emails about weird phenomena that are forwarded to you by burned-out new-agers. Instead I highly recommend Errol Moritzu0026#39;s aforementioned documentary on Hawking, or perhaps his excellent u0026quot;Fast, Cheap and Out of Control.u0026quot; In fact, I even recommend u0026quot;Showgirlsu0026quot; over this travesty committed, sadly, in the name of science.”
