Unseen Forces (2004)

Actors

Plot
Unseen Forces (2004) is a hilarious sequence of vignettes from the history of science to Sagan's music. Sidestepping any expectations of high falutin' experimental art video in favor of slapstick narrative, these wryly subtitled re-enactments of important historical breakthroughs come off as a weird hybrid of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" and Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same". Commencing with a turtlenecked Carl Sagan lookalike invoking the sun, Junell's film proceeds to romp anachronistically across history in a playful homage to "Cosmos": The Big Bang is restaged by a flashlight-wielding modern dance troupe (played by real life astronomy buffs recruited online), whose cosmic choreography goes largely unnoticed by their glib, uncomprehending audience. The Greek Rationalist discovery that air is a substance is refigured as a gay pick up technique in an ice cream parlour, with Matmos' M. C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel playing Empedocles and Pausanias. In the final scene, married couple Blevin Blectum and J Lesser re-enact the courtship of the Curies and their discovery of radiation as a Jerry Lewis-style tragicomedy.

Keywords: cosmos, logic, reason, science

Famous quotes by Empedocles:

"At one time through love all things come together into one, at another time, through strife's hatred, they are borne each of them apart."

"What is lawful is not binding only on some and not binding on others. Lawfulness extends everywhere, through the wide-ruling air and the boundless light of the sky."

"Happy is he who has gained the wealth of divine thoughts, wretched is he whose beliefs about the gods are dark."

"The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere"

"The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere."

Updated: 12 Dec 2013

This is a course I've made for discussion, so please leave comments below. Some of the ideas of Empedocles are introduced and several questions are open for debate. 1) Do you agree that 'nothing can come from nothing'? 2) Do you think that atoms are eternal and indestructible? Do you believe that anything in the universe 'has no birth or death'? What? 3) What are the fundamental forces of the universe? 4) Do you believe in a previous golden age? Why? Do you think that things are getting worse? Why? 5) Do yo believe in reincarnation? Why? 6) Are you a vegetarian? What are the arguments for and against being a vegetarian? 7) Do you believe in evolution? Why? Do you consider the passage of time to be teleological (moving forward with some kind of purpose), or do you think things change into different forms through 'pure random chance' (non teleological)

Bertrand Russell ::: A History Of Western Philosophy ::: 106 Empedocles

Duration: 12:23
Updated: 10 Feb 2014

A History of Western Philosophy is a 1945 book by philosopher Bertrand Russell. A conspectus of western philosophy from the pre-Socratic philosophers to the early 20th century, it was criticised for its over-generalisation and its omissions, particularly from the post-Cartesian period, but nevertheless became a popular and commercial success, and has remained in print from its first publication. When Russell was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, the book was cited as one of those that won him the award. The book provided Russell with financial security for the last part of his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Empedocles was a Greek pre-Socratic philosopher and a citizen of Agrigentum, a Greek city in Sicily. Empedocles' philosophy is best known for being the originator of the cosmogenic theory of the four Classical elements. He also proposed powers called Love and Strife which would act as forces to bring about the mixture and separation of the elements. These physical speculations were part of a history of the universe which also dealt with the origin and development of life. Influenced by the Pythagoreans, he supported the doctrine of reincarnation. Empedocles is generally considered the last Greek philosopher to record his ideas in verse. Some of his work survives, more than in the case of any other Presocratic philosopher. Empedocles' death was mythologized by ancient writers, and has been the subject of a number of literary treatments.

Top Pete Townshend, Empty Glass

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But oppoertunity's now in my hands
I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror
Then I'm a Star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me . . . what a thrill for you
I've been there and gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there
I've had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razers edge
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
Killing each other by driving a wedge
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
Don't worry smile and dance
You just can't work life out
Don't let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass

Top Who, Empty Glass

Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I never had a chance
But opportunity's now in my hands
I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror
Then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me...oh.what a thrill for you
I've been there and gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there
I've had enough of the way things been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to kill with the same gun
Killing each other by driving a wedge
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
Why was I born today
Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say
I didn't get a chance
Opportunity's in my hand
I stand with my guitar
All I need's a mirror
Then I'm a star
I'm so sick of dud TV
Next time you switch on
You might see me...
I've been there and gone there
I've lived there and bummed there
I've spinned there, I gave there
I drank there and I slaved there
I've had enough of the way things have been done
Every man on a razors edge
Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun
We where killing each other by driving a wedge
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
Don't worry smile and dance
You just can work life out
Don't let down moods entrance you
Take the wine and shout
My life's a mess I wait for you to pass

Top Thursday, Empty Glass

I lost my wedding ring down the kitchen sink
Now it's glimmering somewhere far away
And I'm sitting here with an empty glass
Waiting for the day to swallow me whole
I'm holding on to nothing
Sold my wedding ring to another man
Who was drunk in lust far away from home
Now I'm waking up with an empty hand
Trying to buy something to take me away
The page I've written
I'll sleep in the space where no one's breathing

Top Tea Party, Empty Glass

These premonitions shine like stars that
Fall to earth too fast
I see the empty glass
Where do we belong
Tell me major tom
Because nothing's making sense
I listen and lament
For golden years that pass like thunder
And soldier on through time
This empty glass is mine
Where do we belong
Could you help us major tom
Because nothing's making sense
I listen and lament
A starman will come
When diamond dogs run
We need ground control
We're losing our souls
A starman will come
When diamond dogs run
We need ground control
We're losing our souls
We're losing our souls
We're losing our souls

Top The Tea Party, Empty Glass

Top Defeater, Empty Glass

The way she looked at you, tears streaming down her face
You felt the brush of her dress as she walked away
And that’s all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink
An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same
And that’s the way that it’s been
Years later she took your name
Hopeful and now unafraid
Your gut sinks each time you see her
Another night at the Copper Coin [x3]
Another night, another night
And that’s all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink
An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same
And that’s the way that it’s been
Years later she took your name
Hopeful and now unafraid
Your gut sinks each time you see her
Tell me about the old days
Another night at the Copper Coin
Tell me about the old days
Put the sun into the sea
‘Cause there ain’t nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes
Tell me about the old days [x2]
‘Cause there ain’t nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes

Top Stoney Larue, Empty Glass

With an empty glass
And a last cigarette
It’s closin’ time
And I’m drunk again
But somehow I’ll make it home
I’ll cry myself to sleep
Ya that’s the way the day ends, every night for me
Every night I’m in some bar,
I’m throwin’ whiskey on a heart that’s on fire
Forgettin’ you ain’t no easy thing
And each night for me ends up the same
With an empty glass
And a last cigarette
It’s closing time
And I’m drunk again
But somehow I’ll make it home
I’ll cry myself to sleep
Ya that’s the way the day ends, every night for me
Every night, I’m in this bar
I’m throwin’ whiskey on a heart that’s on fire
Forgettin’ you ain’t no easy thing
And each night for me ends up the same
With an empty glass
And a last cigarette
It’s closin’ time
And I’m drunk again
But somehow I’ll make it home,
I’ll cry myself to sleep
But that’s the way the day ends every night for me

Top Gary Stewart, Empty Glass

An empty glass
That last cigarette
It's closing time
And I'm drunk again
But somehow I'll make it home
And cry myself to sleep
That's how my day ends
Every night for me
Every night I'm in some bar
Pouring whiskey on a heart that's on fire
Forgetting you is no easy thing
Each night for me always ends the same
With an empty glass
That last cigarette
It's closing time
And I'm drunk again
But somehow I'll make it home
And cry myself to sleep
That's how my day ends
Every night for me
Every night I'm in some bar
Pouring whiskey on a heart that's on fire
Forgetting you is no easy thing
Each night for me always ends the same
With an empty glass
That last cigarette
It's closing time
And I'm drunk again
But somehow I'll make it home
And cry myself to sleep
That's how my day ends
Every night for me.
Yeah, that's how my day ends

Famous quotes by Empedocles:

"At one time through love all things come together into one, at another time, through strife's hatred, they are borne each of them apart."

"What is lawful is not binding only on some and not binding on others. Lawfulness extends everywhere, through the wide-ruling air and the boundless light of the sky."

"Happy is he who has gained the wealth of divine thoughts, wretched is he whose beliefs about the gods are dark."

"The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere"
