Film Lens
The documentary discusses the nature of reality and the universe through the lens of quantum mechanics. It presents the idea that the universe may create itself, likening it to a game of 20 questions where the answers shape the reality being formed. The film references the realist viewpoint held by scientists, emphasizing the debate sparked by quantum mechanics, particularly the observer-dependent nature of reality as articulated by Niels Bohr in his Copenhagen interpretation.
The film also covers thought experiments like Schrödinger's cat to illustrate the complexities and paradoxes of quantum theory. It examines the implications of these theories on our understanding of the universe, including the possibility of the universe being a black hole and the relationship between mass and event horizons, ultimately questioning the nature of existence and observation in the cosmos.
Why Watch

Did You Know
•Niels Bohr stated that no phenomenon is a phenomenon until it is observed.
•The event horizon of a black hole with the mass of our observable universe matches our cosmological event horizon.
•Quantum mechanics suggests that a cat in a box can be both alive and dead until observed.
