"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.

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.

Lawrence Krauss himself had no idea he was in such a film. Someone basically brought the rights to a bunch of clips of him talking about geocentrism and what a load of rubbish is was and edited the context right out of it. Here is a post written by Lawrence on this very subject. Google "the principle Lawrence Krauss" and look at the 2nd link which is to a slate.com piece he wrote...Just another example of how religion tries to kill all curiosity because it is petrified of the truth: we are not special, our planet exists by pure chance, our sun is puny (and in fact is the source of life so worship that) and there is nobody keeping score and nobody cares about the fates and actions of humans. Everything you have ever been and ever will be is of no importance to the universe so deal with it...

What an awful case of religious propaganda disguised as science. Much pseudo science employed to try an spread disinformation. The makers of the movie should be prosecuted for implying this theory is scientific (and I think they were) and trying to make the masses dumber than they already are. Shame on you.

I watched this film at its premiere in San Diego, where I was one of maybe 20 people in attendance. If you are able to stay awake for the entire duration, then I applaud you. I went with an open mind, and left feeling accomplished because I managed to fight off the urge to sleep. A gentleman I did not know approached me afterward and asked me what I thought of the film. I told him the production quality was pretty good, but I was not swayed by its premise. He looked at me with amazement, as if the film's arguments were so air- tight one would have to be a village idiot to deny it. I can assure you it's not all that. Conspiracy theorists will probably love this film. Normal people will find it a good occasion to catch up on sleep.
