"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.

Open minded and open-ended in its presentation, this film is not for those drunk on the cool-aid of today's demagogues - which is a good sign. |
| User ReviewBrian OA rare documentary movie that allows all viewpoints- top scientists and theologians- an equal voice. The audience is entrusted to come to their own conclusions about a truly shocking new cosmic discovery |
