Forgive me but as a science geek, the introductory lines of this film are too offensive to remain unaddressed. We open with a disembodied narrator and a drawing of an atom, “This is an atom.” Cut to a shot of the moon “This is The Universe.” Not really but OK. “An atom is infinitely small.” NO! The whole point of conceptualizing and then finding the atom is to show that the building block of the universe is not infinitely small. “The universe is infinitely large.” This I will have to let pass because it is a possibility, but only one possibility among many. “However everything is ruled by the same laws.” NO! Richard Feynman is rolling over in his grave. In one sentence you have whisked away all of quantum mechanics! How dare you!
