The Principle

“The Principle” unveils groundbreaking scientific findings that question the Copernican Principle, a key assumption at the heart of modern science. This principle, which posits that Earth holds no unique or privileged place in the universe, has driven the last two major scientific upheavals—the Copernican Revolution and the theory of Relativity. As Lawrence Krauss suggests, we might be on the brink of a third revolution, with “Copernicus coming back to haunt us.” The film features interviews with prominent cosmologists alongside perspectives from dissenters and nonconformists, highlighting the significant challenges and consequences for cosmology, as well as for our cultural and religious perceptions of reality.
