The Connected Universe

This should be put in with the woo woo ancient astronaut garbage. It might be believable if you smoked some good pot but it has nothing to do with evidence or science. I half expected to hear about flat earth and a 7 day creation in this steaming pile of trash.

You'd get more of a scientific discussion if you got a 17 year old high school drop out stoned and asked him to explain how he thinks his/her hand works.

This is why "documentary" streaming services (like Wonderum) and the documentary section of Prime have do much anti-science garbage listed in them. "Let's pay Patrick Steward to do the voice over to try to lend us some credibility. This way no one will bother to ask us for evidence about the outrageous claims we make."

It's woo woo waste of times like this that made the USA a laughing stock to the rest of the world. It's programs like this that dumbed down our science literacy. It's programs like this that made India and China the scientific powerhouses they are.

The production and story telling of the film/documentary is amazing - it is enough to convince you it makes sense and the science seems to support it. However viewers would benefit being aware that some of the statements framed could be misleading, they are inconsistent and/or are not actually supported by scientific rigor of evidencing as indicated - scientific methods and society are skeptics and rigorous specifically because of the bias we can hold for observing and determining truths and facts. I do appreciate and enjoy watching the film from the story telling, ideas and cinematic experience though.

. . . maybe it's time to step out of the dark ages and do a little homework. Here, I'll get you started . . .

In Nassim Haramein's paper, Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass, a prediction of the charge radius of the proton was confirmed with greater accuracy than any other theoretical framework. An experiment performed in 2013 by a team of scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute, confirmed the prediction.

Nassim's paper "Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass" was published in the peer-reviewed journal Physical Review & Research International. This paper covered his precise calculations on the holographic mass/charge radius of the proton. His findings related to the fundamental physics driving gravitational effects from the cosmological scale to the quantum scale has massive implications on the understanding of the source of mass in our universe.

This theory was later scientifically confirmed when the proton radius was determined through the measurement of muonic hydrogen by an international team lead by Aldo Antognini and carried out at the Paul Scherrer Institute.

Superb film in every way.

Oh my goodness this was so bad. It's one of those typical documentaries that will throw in some science and some sciencey sounding things together. There's so much fluff. E.g. going off on a tangent about how we've been at war and humanity is suffering etc etc. Then throw in some graphics that show the fibbonaci sequence. And lead the audience to believe that we all effect each other so think happy thoughts and all will be well. They only featured one scientist and his ideas. When only one argument is presented, it is clear bias. Also very little actual data and information of substance was presented. It was mostly woo woo. Don't waste your time.

I thought this film was amazing.

It is well written and moves at a good pace, with concepts that build and evolve. Stunning camera work, motion graphics and audio production bring it all together.

The Connected Universe is all about the science but at no point do it's theory's dispel the notion of God. This is done with a grounded, harshly realistic view of today's world, and a highly optimistic vision of what the future could look like.

Highly recommended!
