With Jack Forem and Ellen Erwin

One Of Independent Film’s Biggest Success Stories Of 2004,
The Tour De Force that Mixed Cutting Edge Science with Spirituality,
Is Now a Breakthrough Book!

November 1, 2005

Part documentary, part narrative drama and part visual hallucinogen, the quantum fable What the Bleep Do We Know?! arrives as a book on November 1, 2005 from HCI Books, best-known for the blockbuster Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Long-awaited by fans, many of whom have seen the film multiple times in theaters and more recently on DVD, the book is not a movie tie-in, but instead a stand-alone book that offers deeper insight into the fusion of science, philosophy and religion featured in the film. The stunning full-color layout helps make it the liveliest and most accessible science book ever published. Or is it philosophy? Or spirituality?
First and foremost, What the Bleep Do We Know?! is a book of amazing science. With the help of more than a dozen research and theoretical scientists, it takes you through the looking glass of quantum physics into a universe that is more bizarre and alive than ever imagined. Then it takes you beyond, into the outer edges of our scientific knowledge of consciousness, perception, body chemistry and brain structure. What is a thought made of? What is reality made of? And most importantly, how does a thought change the nature of reality? This science leads not just to the material world, but deep into the realm of spirituality, personal choice and everyday decision-making.
What the Bleep Do We Know?! is not a book of definitive answers. It is a book of mind stretching questions. It is a book that shows you not the path, but the endless possibilities. Do you think you have to go to the same job every day, do the same errands, think the same thoughts, feel the same way? Well, think again.

About the authors…
William Arntz, a research physicist and spiritual seeker, created one of the world’s most widely used pieces of software. He retired and became interested in uniting his four great passions: leading edge science, spiritual inquiry, filmmaking and computers. Betsy Chasse freelanced as a production manager on over thirty films and produced eight movies before deciding that she wanted to move away from Los Angeles and do something more meaningful with her life. Mark Vicente is a cinematographer turned director with a special interest in mysterious, reflective and unusual subject matter. Together, they wrote, filmed, produced and independently distributed the hit film What The Bleep Do We Know!?.

About the movie…
Filled with wondrous animation and special effects, What The Bleep Do We Know!? takes viewers down the rabbit hole with Amanda (Oscar Award-winner Marlee Matlin) as her ordinary life unravels into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, all of which throw the very nature of reality into question. The film, which features interviews with leading scientists and mystics, is the first to share the wonder world of quantum physics with a general audience and apply its lessons to our own lives.
Originally dismissed by the major studios and self-distributed by the film makers, the movie (affectionately known as BLEEP) has:

· Grossed more than $12 million in U.S. box office
· Sold almost 1 million DVDs
· Been released in 11 countries, with more openings scheduled
· Been in Amazon.com’s Top 10 DVD best-seller list for more than four months
· Sparked six national conferences
