MIRAGE: EIGENSTATE

Synopsis

Mirage: Eigenstate weaves together analogous investigations into the nature of reality, positioning Western science as just one methodology among many in a constellation of pluralistic worldviews. The film explores diverse interpretations of reality – from tropical Sufi mysticism and monorealism to theories of quantum mechanics. Edited in the style of American astronomer and planetary scientist Carl Sagan’s 1980s television series Cosmos, which sought to explain the origin of life and the fourth spatial dimension, Mirage: Eigenstate draws on the tradition of scientific mass communication, where complex concepts are made accessible through straightforward explanations, often accompanied by imagery.
