The movie Brainstorm doesn't provide any proof of a larger cosmic reality. However, it does provide an interesting depiction of a VR sensory recording system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueYcVmH0edk

https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/brainstorm-1983

"Michael vows to destroy his work and enlists the help of Karen and Hal. Michael and Karen head to the Pinehurst Resort, and realizing they are under surveillance, stage a fight that ends in Karen leaving for Hal's house. As the two feign reconciliation over the phone, Michael accesses the Brainstorm computer via another phone line while Karen hacks into the system, sabotaging the robots that manufacture the interface terminals. They run amok.

Karen shuts down the security system, locking the staff outside. Michael loads Lillian's tape. With the plant in chaos, Robert orders Michael's arrest.

Karen leaves to meet with Michael at a place important to them. Hal and his wife, Wendy, send the last of Karen's commands to the company computers, shutting down the plant.

Karen follows Michael to a phone booth at the Wright Brothers memorial. The tape plays. Michael bears witness to the afterlife, experiencing a vision of hell, then traveling from Earth and through the universe, even after the tape ends. He ultimately has visions of angels and departed souls flying into a great cosmic Light. Then he collapses. Karen, believing him dead or dying, screams at him, over and over, demanding that he stay with her. Awakening, weeping with joy, Michael points up and whispers, “Look at the stars!” Their embrace, enclosed in a memory bubble, floats into the night." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorm_(1983_film)#Plot

Source Code Movie Ending Explained

"The Source Code technology in the film is inspired by real-life quantum mechanics theories, which posit the existence of multiple parallel universes and alternate timelines." https://repeatreplay.com/source-code-movie-ending-explained 

This is such a fantastic movie. Source Code isn't so much about time-travel (TT), as its more about linking one's consciousness to a parallel world. Thus, at the end of the movie it is revealed that the protagonist is in another person's body, which is fully intact on an alternate world.

"Stevens presses him for answers, he's told that Source Code isn't a simulation, as he suspected, but an extremely limited type of time travel. Rutledge clarifies that it's more like time re-assignment, and it works via quantum mechanics and parabolic calculus."  https://www.looper.com/1284014/source-code-ending-explained

Are more People are turning on Elon Musk?

If a business person starts to be very unpopular, their brand names might also not be as popular. 

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-musk-complains-losing-propaganda-war-1235316305/

However, as society gets more angry and impoverished, there might not be enough police and military to control over 8 billion people.

https://www.npr.org/2025/04/03/nx-s1-5349452/as-elon-musks-popularity-declines-what-is-his-likely-future-in-gop-politics

Thus, there could be a huge demand for advanced AI robots and AI drones (AGI) to control the human herd. 

https://qviro.com/blog/tesla-optimus-vs-boston-dynamics-atlas

This would be quite a horrible situation if humanity was ever totally controlled and managed by AI. The obvious result would be a most inhumane world.
