What the bleep do we know?

There is an odd sort of hybrid movie/documentary that seeks to blend the really mind-blowing implications of Quantum Mechanics with New Age spirituality. It's called What the bleep do we know? .

Just to give you an idea, the claim is made that the natives who met Columbus were at first unable to see the ships in the harbor because such things were so far from the paradigm of what they thought could exist, that they simply didn't register. Huh? How did I miss that in American History 101?

Some of the ideas presented are thought-provoking and there actually is some overlap between QM and metaphysics. But, and it's a big but, this movie contains interviews with both physicists and channelers and there is absolutely no line drawn between accepted scientific theory and wildest New Age speculation, so take it with a grain of salt.
