Storyline

A group of renowned cosmologists and astrophysicist are in search of a realistic picture of the universe. Their research and observational discoveries point in a direction diametrically opposed to the predominant Bog Bang theory - this leads to a series of sociological situations that verge on the extreme dogma controls wielded against Copernicus and Galileo in the past; only now against our protagonists of the 21st century. This is a controversial science documentary touching on the nerve of everything astronomers and cosmologist claim they know about the universe today.

User Reviews

Randall Myers is a charlatan and ignorant of science

In science, there are always mavericks and hangers-on who try to buck the trend. In astronomy, there are a few astronomers who try to argue that the Big Bang never happened. Some of these astronomers were accomplished in other areas. Many are second-rate scientists or worse. Myers seeks out these people and promulgates their views like a political advert. It is one of the worst travesties in science film-making ever. Why not check out a film that contains accurate science and doesn't dwell on the kooks and the loons who have their own delusions of grandeur and pie-in-the-sky notions regarding reality? There are plenty of other documentaries available that do not drag science through the mud.
