Amanda is a divorced woman who makes a living as a photographer. During the Fall of the year Amanda begins to see the world in new and different ways when she begins to question her role in life, her relationships with her career and men and what it all means. As the layers to her everyday experiences fall away insertions in the story with scientists, and philosophers and religious leaders impart information directly to an off-screen interviewer about academic issues, and Amanda begins to understand the basis to the quantum world beneath. During her epiphany as she considers the Great Questions raised by the host of inserted thinkers, she slowly comprehends the various inspirations and begins to see the world in a new way.

Welcome to the struggle physicists have faced since the development of quantum physics. Words take on specific mathematical and physical meanings within the jargon of the field and are used very precisely there, but lead to utterly unhinged new-age BS when taken out of context (e.g. "What the Bleep do we know?" [1])
You need to be very aware of your audience and careful about the words you use. Unfortunately, some of them will be taken out of context.
