Scientific Symbols in The Movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (2022)
This research aims to analyze the scientific symbols in the movie
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). The objectives are to identify the
scientific symbols that appear in the film and to explain their meaning using
Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory. The data were first classified into
scientific models based on Justi and Gilbert, including physical, conceptual,
and procedural models, and then analyzed through Peirce’s categories of
icon, index, and symbol. The findings reveal six scientific symbols: Verse
Jumping Headset and Googly Eyes (physical models), Multiverse Glitch and
Everything Bagel (conceptual models), and Memory Scanner and Multiverse
Timeline (procedural models). Verse Jumping Headset functions as an icon
because it resembles real technological devices, as an index since it causes
the character to jump between universes, and as a symbol representing
advanced technology. Googly Eyes work mainly as a symbol of optimism and
balance. Everything Bagel acts as a conceptual model that becomes an index
of nihilism and as a symbol of destructive temptation. Other symbols, such as
Multiverse Glitch, Memory Scanner, and Multiverse Timeline, also perform in
similar ways, combining icon, index, and symbol functions to show how
science supports the multiverse concept. Therefore, this study concludes that
the scientific symbols in the film not only fit into different models but also
play crucial roles in strengthening the narrative and Evelyn Wang’s character
development.
