Thanks for starting this thread @CrowFeather :)! I'd love for us to share which TV shows helped or inspired us :).

Great idea @heyheyhey

Sense8 is a good series. Wachowski sisters like the many storytelling thing, which I find OK. Something I get inpatient with at times. Collective consciousness! Definitely there for it.

Rant ensues: please stop manipulating/making up science to pretend like this is possible - the many worlds theory is about multiple possibilities, but the whole point is that if you knew what all of the possibilities were, you could include them in the state-vector and then all the math would come out right, without having to claim "collapse of the wave-function as in the Copenhagen interpretation /end rant. [edited to improve accuracy of rant]

I have to admit, I had to turn to YouTube to fully understand what you were saying, but I learned something, so thank you.

I watched Stranger Things yesterday. I will start Sense8 tomorrow maybe.

 

[One step at a time]

For the curious, as I learned it:

1. quantum mechanics happens. things behave weirdly.
2. we know enough about how they behave to describe what happens with math.
3. we have no idea why it is happening.
4. theories about why are called "interpretations"
5. The Copenhagen interpretation is standard. The many worlds interpretation is popular with fiction-writers. There are many others.

Sean Carroll has a math-less, carefully written explanation of Copenhagen and many worlds here: From Eternity to Here - Quantum (Chap. 11) - Preposterous Universe

Sense8 Season 2 isn't really. It's a two hour holiday special. Blah! Gotta wait till May for the next ten episodes to drop.

I mentioned Sense8 to T on Monday and she's already into season 1 and loving it.

 

[Crow]

Think I'm diving into The Fall on Sunday. Then The Glitch.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

Haha, Glitch is also on my list. I haven't started Sense 8 yet.

 

[Crow]

Trying to give The Fall a chance but the poor accents are going to be a deal breaker.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

The Fall

Oh, give that more of a chance. That's a good one! I haven't seen season two yet. But loved season one!

 

[Crow]

@lostforgottensoul thanks for the recommendation for The Fall. I skipped season 3 to the final episode but overall a decent series. Gillian was wonderful. Wish they would have revisited the relationship between her and the coroner.

Watching American Crime now.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

Gillian was wonderful.

Do you recongize her? Skully on the X-Files.
