>Schrödinger's cat
It's gotten to the point that hearing that is enough to make me consider dropping a series. There's a reason that that stupid cat is never mentioned by those studying QM, except as a pop culture reference.
I'm still annoyed Demi-chan wasted an entire episode on its author picking QM terms and dreaming up new meanings for them.
Trying to make science accessible to the general public was a mistake. Without the foundations it's a waste of time, and nothing will be palatable to those without them unless you simplify it until it no longer conveys any meaning. For those who just accept it, it was pointless talking to them about it in the first place, and for those who start to recognize how meaningless such presentations are, it just makes them wrongly interpret it as failings of the actual science instead of recognizing it to be a problem with the portrayal.
That's how we end up with nonsense like the SJWs claiming relativity is "problematic" for "privileging" the speed of light, or /pol/tards claiming it's subjectivist propaganda. Pre-Einsteinian and pre-quantum electromagnetism was strange and counterintuitive at times too, but without attempts at making it popular and accessible you didn't see near the same kind of misunderstandings, because there wasn't the same effort to make it "cool".
