Deepak Chopra level sophistry, folks.

You know, they were pretty much spot on for half the video, and I was confused as to what you were talking about. It seemed like a very decent laymen's overview of quantum theory. And then I got to 3:05. Quanta (a fancy word for the smallest possible amount of a physical unit, like a photon of light, or OP's penis), are not singularities, and they are not all a singularity, and everything around us is not "one", in any meaningful way. 'Quantum relativity' is just a nonsense phrase here. And somehow they top it off by saying that because everything is one and science is confusing, governments don't matter. Basically justifying hedonistic nihilism because "you are the quantum singularity interacting with itself" is just dumbfounding.

Also. Why does the. Narrator speak like. This ?

The problem w/ laymen's explanations of quantum mechanics is that in dropping the math something is lost in translation. What you get then is people that think they understand it but don't and they end up sounding like our buddy Deepak.

StromCloudsGathering has always been off the deep end.
