A lot of this discussion was over my head and I found it boring, but I also was skeptical about some of the ideas, because they were so "out there." They talk about what is real, and what we see vs. what we remember, and I can understand that, but some of the other concepts were just too strange for me, like the atom discussion, and how nothing is solid, even though it appears solid. OK, that may be true, but in my experience, when you hit cement, it is pretty solid, and I'll stick with that experience.

However, they do have purpose and meaning to their lives, and their lives mean something, because they are exploring important concepts and using their minds on challenging problems. I want to be fulfilled in my life, and I don't want to end up thinking I haven't done anything important in my life, and I think that this film brought that home to me......
