Saying we don't know the future is not an excuse to assume or fill in gaps because something might sound pretty to us.

There is a difference between QM and si fi or comic book fantasy. One is based on science, and QM can get quite freaky. Then there is si fi woo which is just garbage.

I love mass media, but the dark side of it is it also spreads bullshit.
