Dark Matter Creator Cuts Book Scene for TV to Maintain Scientific Accuracy

Blake Crouch reveals he removed a striking but implausible scene from his novel for the Apple TV+ adaptation to preserve the story's scientific integrity.

In bringing his acclaimed science fiction novel Dark Matter to life as an Apple TV+ series, creator Blake Crouch made the conscious decision to omit one of the book’s more dramatic moments. The scene in question featured a visually arresting encounter that ultimately didn’t align with the rigorous scientific foundation underpinning the story’s exploration of quantum mechanics and parallel universes.

In an interview with Variety, Crouch explained his rationale for cutting the sequence depicting protagonist Jason stumbling upon a wounded, disheveled alternate version of himself within the enigmatic realm known as “The Box” – an interdimensional space containing doorways to infinite parallel realities.

“There is one thing, but it wasn’t left out because it was a darling, it was left out because when I spoke to my scientific advisor, I realized it never should have been in the book in the first place,” Crouch admitted. “There’s a moment where Jason is in The Box walking in the corridor alone and he sees this figure – it’s a version of him and he’s naked and all cut up. And I realized that’s actually impossible.”

Crouch elaborated that the scientific principles governing The Box’s connection to the infinite possibilities of the multiverse preclude such an implausible encounter. “If you open the door and step into The Box and you close the door, you’re in superposition. What we see inside the box is a manifestation of a five-dimensional probability space from inside the minds of the people who step into The Box,” he clarified. “So to have someone else in the corridor — where does that other Jason come from? Don’t get me wrong, it looks cool, and we had a lot of conversations about putting it in. But it ultimately didn’t make sense.”

This commitment to adhering to consistent, plausible scientific rules – even at the expense of a haunting visual metaphor – exemplifies the Dark Matter creator’s ambition to craft a sci-fi saga grounded in rigorous theoretical physics and mind-bending philosophical concepts. While eye-catching, the novel’s unnerving alternate Jason encounter ultimately represented an irreconcilable narrative shortcut.

Apple TV+’s Dark Matter has earned praise from critics for its dense, cerebral exploration of existential themes through the lens of a tightly-woven multiverse thriller. With an 80% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has cemented Apple’s ascendance as a home for intelligent, big-budget science fiction following the successful launches of shows like For All Mankind and Foundation.

By holding firm to preserving theoretical accuracy over momentary dramatic impact, Crouch’s willingness to refine his own source material underscores Dark Matter’s dedication to avoiding easy sci-fi shortcuts in service of grappling with the profound implications of its unsettling philosophical mysteries. As viewers immerse themselves in the series’ labyrinthine narrative of shifting realities, they can take comfort that even seemingly small creative decisions were made to uphold one core tenet – keeping the science honest.
