Universe – The Cosmology Quest: is a unique mixture of a human interest and science documentary film.
It exhibits a profound understanding of the struggles in astronomy and cosmology during the past eighty years.
As the first comprehensive film dealing with major new approaches in non-big bang cosmologies, it reveals several deep-rooted theoretical and observational controversies. This is a fact, well hidden from university students and the general public, which is recounted with candour; and potentially leads to the downfall of the presiding Big Bang theory. The actors are themselves leading figures in the field, Nobel Laureates, as well as recipients of the most important recognitions available in physics and astronomy today. While exploring the theoretical weaknesses of the dominating Big Bang cosmology, and the restrictions they impose on astronomers researching different directions, new doors are nevertheless opened for understanding the wealth of observations and stimulating ideas which have arisen in past decades. History since Hubble and Einstein is re-examined. The role media and professional prestige has played in forming and supporting this paradigm emerges sociologically, in what many consider to be an open debate with exciting potential for new understanding in cosmology.
The film illustrates the interviewee’s arguments, by making use of 3D animations and motion graphics. Accompanied by an originally composed symphonic sound track, and a full Dolby Digital 6 track surround sound mix. The full duration of the film is 108 minutes, presented as two chapters. Chapter 1: Observation and Sociologic Controversy - 53 minutes. Chapter 2: Problems with the Big Bang Theory, New Horizons - Plasma Cosmology - 55 minutes.
Universe – The Cosmology Quest; is the story of the personal and scientific struggle of a number of leading cosmologist to present different, if not more validated, explanations of the universe in which we all live; and to do so in a language, both appealing and excitingly easy to understand. Everyone has a right to know about the universe in which we are born.
This is their story – the story of the Universe.
