The Principle (2014)
"The Principle" brings to light astonishing new scientific observations challenging the Copernican Principle; the foundational assumption underlying the modern scientific world view. The idea that the Earth occupies no special or favored position in the cosmos has launched the last two scientific revolutions - the Copernican Revolution and Relativity - and, as Lawrence Krauss has said, we could be on the verge of a third, with "Copernicus coming back to haunt us". Interviews with leading cosmologists are interspersed with the views of dissidents and mavericks, bringing into sharp focus the challenges and implications not only for cosmology, but for our cultural and religious view of reality.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Brilliant work by the creators of this documentary to bring together the forced assumptions of the cosmos through the ages and present them in valid light.
I find it interesting and intriguing because its main purpose is to make us all "question everything". We are given a tremendous amount of theories that gravitate around humans existence on Earth and our unique place in the Universe. With mind - blowing facts and assumptions, you automatically start to believe that our race is part of something bigger than ourselves. I do hope that one day we'll be able to solve all of the unresolved problems that we face today through science and technology. But until then, we must work as a whole in order to accomplish astonishing milestones!
Chat Conversation Start 7:10AM Geocentric Model/The PrincipleScientists, astrophysicists, and all those great minds that asked the big cosmological question have been put to the test. They have but two simple options: to surrender to scientific factual evidence and to acknowledge they been wrong; or to lie like sheep killing dogs.So, it is no wonder we are having such political debates filled with nonsense. Everybody is ducking the evidence in order not to be proved wrong. Yes, they are burning at the stake those that claim the geocentric model.Yet, the facts speak for itself: the Earth IS NOT MOVING. All the Universe is, but not us. Zero speed through absolute space. Earth at the Center of it all!The greatest scientific revelation, the writing on the walls of the universe tells us we are very special, extremely special, humans and Earth!
Let me start by saying that I like 'The Principle'–it's just that I don't like it for the reasons the writer and producer would prefer. In a nutshell, the movie is supposed to be an enlightening look at current science related to cosmology and the origins of the universe, calling into question the idea that Earth is not necessarily special and is not the center of the universe. As far as I'm concerned, the premise and conclusions are nonsense, but the way the information is presented gives it an air of credibility and authenticity that prove to be a valuable lesson in how pseudo-science can appear legitimate at face value.
