Quantum physics?!

You come back on friday from work, eat quickly and get ready for a play reading at Mestizo. Analisa is there already. Many people already waiting for the play to start. Adnakiel. It slowly starts to come alive, the actors prisoners to their script, bound to their chairs (not physically), little movement. Mostly words, which, even under these circumstances, were no less powerful. It ends, and bone is distracted by a certain someone in the audience whom she knows and doesn't want to see.
Q&A follows: Analisa quick to engage with some good questions and feedback. Some stupid questions also pop up by some of the nerds in the audience. You think to say to these nerds: relax, let your imagination roll...

You chat casually with one of the cute actors, friend of analisa's, waiting to leave. On the way home you pick up a movie. It comes well-recommended from a co-worker: What the bleep do we know? Silly title. It's weird. Its a documentary. some of the doubts & questions we've all had, come up here. It's a different way of approaching the world: the idea that we are not only observers but participants in what goes on in the world; in science you are usually the observer. Quantum physics disputes this approach. You watch the movie realizing that science is also uncertain of what's going on. weird. you realize you have been less engaged in your own life lately, being so consumed by daily activities. you listen to the message: it's quite opportune.

It would have been nice if they had been actually tied up to the chairs. hehe

Hey glad you liked the flick. Been wanting to rent it.
We are on the same wave-length with the "You."
Analisa you are hilarious.

I saw the movie in the theater and it made quite an impression.

Many of the things in it I learned when I was a kid and my mom was in a quest to find answers. It was good to get a refresh course with this movie/documentary.

Recently José, my young Padawan at work, bought the DVD as a Bday present to himself, that kid is on his way to become a great person. If only the USA's educational system does not suffocate his creative spirit.
