Uh-oh The movies and "quantum physics" as they see it....

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights concerns about the rising popularity of multiverse-themed movies and their potential to generate confusion and misguided discussions in science forums. The trend is linked to a CNN article discussing how these films are shaping public perception of complex scientific concepts.

The conversation reflects a broader frustration with the way science is often dramatized in popular media, leading to misconceptions among audiences.
