An interpretation of quantum mechanics is a set of statements which attempt to explain how quantum mechanics informs our understanding of nature. Although quantum mechanics has held up to rigorous and thorough experimental testing, many of these experiments are open to different interpretations. There exist a number of contending schools of thought, differing over whether quantum mechanics can be understood to be deterministic, which elements of quantum mechanics can be considered "real", and other matters.

There exist a number of contending schools of thought,

Notice the word "contending". You can get all of them to agree that QM is useful, but even at that level they compete in that problem solving. But none of them even at that level, no matter how confident would say "just utter something and don't test it".

You don't simply will a depiction into existence. If it worked like that, the fact that religious people get inspiration from their holy books, the fantastic claims in them would be true merely because they were depicted.

For a claim to become useful something has to act on it. The only useful tool that does that is scientific method.

Brian, you are the only one here claiming that science FICTION is making any claims about how the real world works. The author's aren't, the directors aren't, the actors aren't, etc... It's fucking fiction. Get over it. Nobody with a working intellect thinks we're going to have any of these things just because they're presented in a book or a movie.

For fucks sake, there's no reason to get your panties in a wad because someone speculates what might be possible in the future.
