Extraterrestrial Life.

A science fiction action-comedy film starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

It has been 5 years since the alien-seeking agents averted an intergalactic disaster of epic proportions. Agent K has since returned to the comforts of civilian life, while Agent J continues to work for the Men in Black, the self-funded agency that secretly monitors and regulates alien activity on Earth.

While investigating a seemingly routine crime, J uncovers a diabolical plot by Serleena, an evil Kylothian shapeshifter who disguises herself as a lingerie model. It is a race against the clock as J must convince K—who not only has no memory of his time spent with the agency, but is also the only person alive with the expertise to save the galaxy—to reunite with the MIB before Earth is destroyed.

A large part of the plot focuses on Agent J's relationship with a woman named Laura, who witnesses Serleena's actions. Rather than erasing her memory, J allows her to retain it. As Laura is pulled deeper and deeper into the battle between Serleena and the MIB, she comes to view Agent J as her protector...

Catalepsy

Catalepsy is a medical condition characterized by muscular rigidity, fixity of posture, and a decreased sensitivity to pain. Professionals once believed this disorder resulted from controllable mental states with no physiological basis. Researchers now know, however, that catalepsy does not appear of its own accord; instead, it often manifests as one of a constellation of symptoms caused by underlying physical disorders. Catalepsy can be triggered by conditions as varied as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy, for instance. It is also a characteristic symptom of cocaine withdrawal and schizophrenia treatment using typical antipsychotics.

Symptoms include a rigid body, rigid limbs, limbs maintaining the same position when moved, unresponsiveness, loss of muscle control, and a slowing down of bodily functions such as breathing. In some cases, isolated cataleptic instances can also be precipitated by extreme emotional shock.

Catalepsy is also a term used by hypnotists to refer to the state of making a hypnotized subject's arm, leg, or back rigid. "Arm catalepsy" is frequently used as a pre-hypnotic test prior to inducing a full trance.

Cosmology and Cosmogony

Cosmology is the branch of metaphysics that deals with the world as the totality of all phenomena in space and time. Historically, it has maintained a broad scope and, in many cases, was rooted in religion. Ancient Greeks did not draw a distinct line between this application and their model for the cosmos. In modern usage, however, it addresses questions about the Universe that extend beyond the scope of empirical physical science. It is distinguished from religious cosmology by its approach to these questions using philosophical methods (e.g., dialectics).

Cosmogony deals specifically with the origin of the universe.

Cosmogony, or cosmogeny, encompasses any theory concerning the coming into existence or origin of the universe, or origin beliefs detailing how reality came to be...
