Sci-fi: Stop with the damned holographs already

Just a brief note to every science fiction writer, director, producer, etc.: Holographs, as seen infuriatingly often in today's TV and film, are NOT POSSIBLE. Even the "hard science" series The Expanse has these damned things.

There is no basis in physics to suspend imagery (animated or still) in mid-air. None. Zero. Nada. All you're doing is making your "science fiction" into "techno-fantasy". It's magic, not science.

STOP IT.
