This short film was very indirect and ambiguous, but I think that is the point. If we are to truly find meaning in things, find the truths, we must not go into to something with everything already made up in our minds. We should have no presuppositions. Like the scientists who work hard to make their data come close to the data of previous testers, they were not honestly just testing and researching. They had previous ideas and thought that they had to build off of them. If we are to find truth, we cannot make something be an unchangeable factor, there should not even be a something. We should seek with great ignorance. When we do so, we will be able to find the truths as they really are, not as we perceive them or as they coincide with what we already think and believe. But when we come to learn that we also should not hold into it, but rather enter the process again in total ignorance so that we may again receive pure truth as it is revealed.
In the film the ship seems to be moving around with no real straight forward direction until he comes in contact with a planet, then he quickly keeps moving on with no specific direction. This is how we are to seek, going with total ignorance and ended up where we end up, then we will find these planets as they are and where they are. But we are not to take these bits of knowledge and make them our base for everything else, but rather we are to go out again and seek pure honest truth with no prejudices.
