Talk:David Albert

WTFDWK
I'd just like to note for the record that I attended a screening of WTFDWK in New York in which the filmmakers were present. They took questions at the end of the movie. Albert was in the audience, and he was very angry at the way he had been portrayed. The filmmakers were quite unapologetic -- they said it was their film and their reality. They also asked Albert how he knew that the way they had edited his comments together was improper. When Albert tried to stick up for himself, most people in the audience booed and jeered him, silencing him.

"He received his B.S. in physics from Columbia College . . . ." Columbia College only awards B.A. degrees, even in the hard sciences. If Professor Albert went to the College, than he received a B.A.. If he received a B.S., he may have gone to the Engineering school or to Columbia's School of General Studies. I'm not sure how to resolve this discrepancy, so hopefully someone else will. 209.144.201.12 (talk) 18:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Krauss review
The article claims:

In his review, Albert called the book "pale, small, silly, nerdy.”

However, in this review, not the book is called "pale, small, silly, nerdy" but the "accussation that religion is [...] dumb", which Albert attributes to Krauss (and maybe other "new atheists"). Probably someone should change this in the article.

I changed the wording to "Albert called the claims made in the book "pale, small, silly, nerdy.” ". I think this more  accurately reflects the book review. PloniAlmoni (talk) 10:43, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Clarification needed.
"Although Albert is listed as a scientist taking part in the sequel to What the Bleep, called "Down the Rabbit Hole", this sequel is a "director's cut", composed of extra footage from the filming of the first movie." So far so good. This is completely coherent and understandable. However, this quotes is followed by this: "The 'Down the Rabbit Hole' version features Albert as the first subject in the interview portion of the film. In that interview he expresses his disagreement with the major thrust of the original "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" Now it's implying that he came back for a second interview, rather than just having his first interview, used in the first movie, reused. I'm deleting the last part until this is clarified. 2001:56A:7E55:1200:EC0C:3A36:D106:2A65 (talk) 05:29, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Emphasis
This article gives undue space to the brief feud with Krauss. It should probably be expanded with more information about Albert's academic contributions. Chase Kanipe (talk) 15:56, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
