Mere Anarchy is the name of Woody Allen’s latest book in which the film director cultivates the genre of critical stories —farces perhaps?— about the world around us, as he did years ago in, for example, Without Feathers or in Getting even. One of the 18 stories in this book is dedicated to science and its popularization. It is entitled “Strung Out” in reference to the physics of strings. This title of the intelligent New York filmmaker serves as a metaphor to analyze whether journalism and, in general, the popularization of science “stretches the string too far” and tends to banalize knowledge.
