^IMHO that scene *perhaps* was about (self-)perception, time, space and beyond.
In one moment, he sees himself old, in another one young again.
Or someone (something) else that speaks to him, while mimicing his form (human) to make contact.
Then it appears as he sees the whole universe/meaning of life/future and past as one/ etc.
That being said, I haven't read the book yet (shame on me!). So the meaning is up to the viewer's phantasy, I guess. 😅
In a scene before, the flight through the colours may visualize the borders between dimensions.

Edit: The second movie is also very good, I think.
It's more focused to humanity and more optimistic regarding our future.
The effects and props are also interesting. The tech shown moves from the cold, but elegant 60s
IBM look of mainframes to that colourful, vibrant look of the 80s. Anyway, I'm going slightly off-topic, so I better stop. 😅

This subject is an entire thread on it own. In all these space / human origin movies someone is always trying to sabotage the mission.
There are People that don't want humans going into space. You should ask NASA about this if it is really true.
In the movie space odyssey 2000 someone or something sabotage the HAL 9000 computer by reprogramming it.
Maybe it was that black stone ?

Hope this is not too off topic, but if you watch 2010, Dr. Chandra, who created HAL, says that HAL was asked to lie to the Discovery crew about the mission, and became paranoid. And that was why he killed them.

Plus fun fact A C Clarke has a cameo in he movie, he is sitting on a park bench near the white house feeding birds.

Hi, my apologies for this little 7 years necro,
but I've just stumbled over an obscure film that has some similiarities to 2001/2010 story line and then remembered our little chat here. 😅

I don’t mean to de-rail this thread by any means, but I thought that everyone might be interested, since sci-fi and computing are not seldomly of interest of same people. 🙂
Thanks for your understanding. Please everyone go on with the main topic.
