About The DVD of the Movie
There have been a HUGE number of requests, asking about the availability of the DVD. We know that EVERYONE wants the DVD, but the film makers have told us that it will Not be available until sometime in March 2005. The national launch of the movie was September. The film makers and distributors would like the movie to get the best possible theater exposure before the DVD is made available. When it is close to being available, we will notify you by email (sign up below), and you will be able to make advance purchases here at SerenityHealth.Com. Thank you kindly for your patience. The DVD will be worth waiting for. It will have A LOAD of valuable Special Features to delight everyone.

Supposedly one of my friends appears in the background of some shot in this movie... I'd like to see it just because of that, but after reading up about it, I don't really want to support these people with my money, even if it's a rental.

Yeah, the damn quantum physicists, what with their science and knowledge and degrees and stuff.



Ramtha's one of the interviews in the film, the film isn't about that.

I realize it's a little OT, but this is from Roger Ebert's "Answer Man" column:

Q. While the film "What the #$*! Do We Know!?" parades itself as a tell-all about quantum physics, it turns out that it's actually a 111-minute infomercial for ... that's right, the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. In fact, the three filmmakers, [William] Arntz, [Betsy] Chasse and [Mark] Vicente, are all devotees of Ramtha.

There's little to no accurate science in the film, and, as a physicist pointed out recently in your Answer Man column, the individuals who are quoted are pretty far from qualified experts on the field of quantum mechanics. Case in point: One of the persons expounding on causality and quantum physics (Dispenza) is a chiropractor. The film's sole purpose appears to be to promote the ideology of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment. A quick browse through their Web site will clearly demonstrate that the film's pseudoscientific nonsense comes straight from the teachings of the RSE.

A. Several other readers also unmasked the documentary as a hoax. I knew there had to be something fishy when the expert who made the most sense was channeling a 35,000-year-old seer from Atlantis.

You can read and judge the interviewer's credentials for yourself:

You might want to be a tad less credulous of the "official" site there, coolpepe. This movie seems to be little more than carefully concealed PR for a fair bunch of kooks (I hesitate to call them a "cult" for I find it damn near impossible to differentiate so-called "cults" from any other organized religious group). There's a long write-up on it at Salon, but you'll have to watch a commercial to gain access to the full article: http://archive.salon.com/ent/feature...eep/index.html
