Focus on Infinity ( German Blickpunkt Unendlichkeit ) is an Austrian documentary by the director Joerg Burger from 2014.
Topic, content
The film tries to investigate the “last questions of mankind” in visits to sites of astronomical research and in discussions with scientists (theoretical physicists, cosmologists and quantum physicists). It shows people, machines and locations that are connected to the exploration of the cosmos, such as the world's largest astronomical research project " Alma " and the deepest underground research laboratory Soudan Underground Lab .
The royal astronomer Sir Martin Rees is quoted as saying: "The human brain was not created for the exploration of the cosmos, but for survival in the savannah." A woman's voice from the off explains that God on the people after the fall Left earth alone so that humanity would have to rely on making its own discoveries. Because the universe has been expanding into infinity since the Big Bang, according to George Coyne , long-time director of the Vatican Observatory in Arizona, this infinity of time and space must have a meaning. The Turkish physicist and writer Aslı Erdoğan has renounced her scientific obsession. In view of the infinity of the universe, she realized that the greatest effort was to become aware of one's own mortality: "I want to learn how to die."
