We interview Robert Sungenis, executive producer of the 2014 film, The Principle. The Principle is a controversial, narrative-based film which questions the validity of the dominant model of the cosmos: one where the earth revolves around the sun and our planet is neither centrally located with the universe nor divinely inspired . Narrated by Kate Mulgrew, of Star Trek: Voyager fame, the film features interviews with several high profile theoretical scientists: Michio Kaku, Lawrence Krauss, Max Tegmark et al.
Robert Sungenis, citing data and imagery gathered from NASA’s Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), argues for a geocentric model of the universe – an order of the cosmos where Earth is at the orbital center of all celestial bodies.
The Principle has animated a sizable community of scientists and skeptics, determined to advocate against what they view as the films’ reactionary attack on modern scientific thought and understanding.
