"Is God A Number?" is an account of the science of mathematics and its connection to mind and consciousness. If mathematics underpins the elegant precision of the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, is there a Master Mathematician as well? This fascinating film examines the computational paradigms being used to model human consciousness and to quantify reality, from Euclidean geometry to fractal transform algorithms. Oxford mathematician Sir Roger Penrose, quantum physicist Reverend John Polkingorne, compression technology expert Michael Barnsley, and physiologist Horace Barlow seek to understand how the brain functions–and grope for evidence of a guiding force. The film looks at the mystery of consciousness, whilst exploring the links between mathematics, the mind and the physical, observable universe. Computer graphics enhance this exploration of inner and outer space.
