I saw the film when it came out and again last monday (Dec. 20) because my 16 years old daughter wanted to see it. She asked for explanations about many scenes, dialogues, sentences, terms and I realized that it was difficult for me to explain to her my intuitive understanding of the movie. Why?
Because my way of explaining is constrained by the established type of thinking in science and common sense but the ideas expressed in the bleep movie require a new type of thinking and a related new type of explaining.
Einstein said in an interview with Michael Amrine in 1946: "a new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move to higher levels."
That's exactly what we need also here: but I do not see any trace of this consciousness in the words of the bleep sceptics (for example here). Unfortunately!

Einstein 1954 - one great mistake in my life
According to R. Clark, in November 1954 - five months before his death - Einstein said:
Letter: Letter from Albert Einstein to President Franklin D. Roosevelt: 08/02/1939.
- "I made one great mistake in my life... when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification - the danger that the Germans would make them." quoted in Ronald Clark, Einstein: The Life and Times, pg. 752
Letter: Letter from Albert Einstein to President Franklin D. Roosevelt: 08/02/1939.
