Everyone was going on about this... it was just nothing new to me... but I guess pretty cool none-the-less. Well, let's not confuse science with truth anyway (even "verifiable" science). Anyone interested in how science evolves (historically... at least according to one author
) should check out "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas S. Kuhn. Or just do some reading about it on-line. It was assigned to me by a professor who I believe was attempting to show that the behavioral sciences are not really sciences. Then again... it's all semantics. It's all evolving. There is a difference between a philosopher and someone who teaches philosophy.
Well anyway, still a good book

The movie takes this disposition from the start, so if you already don't agree with that sentiment, then the movie is not enjoyable one bit. If you're open minded to that prospect, it's a fantastic journey. I feel that the scientists that scoff at it have a right to, but they will ultimately end up looking like those that scoffed at Galileo's observations.
