What the Bleep?

This past Sunday the New York Times featured an excellent piece by Dennis Overbye about the film What the Bleep: Down the Rabbit Hole, a sequel to the cult hit of two years ago What the #$%* Do We Know!? Both movies feature a coterie of scientists, philosphers and “visionaries” who speak with mixed credibility about quantum physics and the possibility that reality could be a mental construct. Overbye clearly thinks this is a bunch of hooey (as does PopSci's own Greg Mone—see for yourself how he ripped the makers of the original film a new one in 2004 here) and his essay makes for really entertaining reading. —Megan Miller
