		<description>This movie claims to show a link between &quot;quantum biology&quot; and our health/well-being. The movie categorically fails to deliver on that promise. There are no links to any published scientific research about &quot;quantum biology&quot; either on the DVD or the movie&#039;s website (thelivingmatrixmovie.com).

There are some clinical studies in the movie, but none of them ever speculate about the mechanism behind the healing. The movie is implying, &quot;We don&#039;t understand how this works, therefore ... quantum physics must be involved!&quot; That&#039;s not science; it&#039;s speculation.

One scene in the movie shows a DVM claiming that direction shifts in flocks of birds are &quot;instantaneous&quot; (and, therefore, quantum physics *must* be involved). This is not only speculation, it&#039;s bad speculation. Scientists have used high-speed photography to confirm that direction shifts in flocks are NOT instantaneous; they even describe how the individual birds coordinate the direction shifts in the flock.

I talk about this bad science in a small article: http://floatingbones.com/?p=171 . I&#039;ve also posted a full review of the movie in http://floatingbones.com/?p=92 .

The truly disappointing thing is that many scientists are doing legitimate scientific research into all sorts of alternative health/healing modalities. This movie not only squandered an opportunity to speak of that real science; it has also tainted the entire discussion with its 90 minutes of speculation.

I give this movie zero stars.</description>
