The story was picked up in UK too. Published yesterday.

"A spokesman for the Science Museum in London described the development as worrying: 'It is a
very tight market in the Imax business and we would be extremely disappointed if this sort of
pressure led to a narrowing of the market for popular Imax films. These films are very popular
with families.'"

I am reminded of Carl Sagan's book, "Contact" (much more detailed than the movie), where the
debate between science and religion is put in the forefront. Very interesting how the two sides
eventually come together because even with the verifiable , measurable, testable aspects of
science...you still end up with WOW! I think Sagan and others have written eloquently about the
spiritual nature of science. Perhaps there doesn't need to be a debate at all.
