Clark was a believer in UFO's as ET spacecraft. Kubrick's films consistently reveal the culture of that shadow society in the know. This film is the blueprint of the conspiracy theory underlying them all: our evolution has been guided by extraterrestrial life evolved to awareness that we are each a critical speck of the infinite block universes that sprout in a fractal bloom from the seed of a single supreme consciousness. Life is the yin to entropy's yang. We are collectively the inevitable Infinite to the One.
