It sounds almost like some movie writer heard to speak about Everett's description, and turned it into what he thought would be a good idea for a sci-fi movie. Still pisses me off everytime I see that in a movie/TV show. Just like the "we use only 10% of our brain" nonsense.
OK, I'm glad, because it seemed like you were really going off the road of lucidity. And I get the same way about an awful lot in movies, sometimes to the point of distraction. It's them that use only 10% of their brains, the rest of us are smart enough to use it all. Even movies that mostly try to get the science right,and hire someone like Carroll or Krause as advisers, will sacrifice their fidelity for a good scene. One big disgusted peeve for me is the sheer lunacy of a star wars universe where they're still running around with guns going pew pew pew.
