Movie math, real or not? (Ghost busters trailer)

68 Views Asked by At

I was watching the ghost busters trailer, and I stopped on a frame containing 'quantum physics'. I wonder if all of this is meaningful math, or some of it is complete gibberish, to look smart.

I see we have seemingly the special unitary group $SU(n)$ mapping to what seems to be $N^2-1$ which seems like gibberish to me for starters.

Relevant image. 1:06 from the trailer.


Perhaps it all is real math, afterall, we have all seen 'It's my turn' by Jill Clayburgh.
