Thanks for posting it!

I have a feeling that a Unified Theory of the Universe can only be achieved when humor, music, irony and the ability to attend to multiple images, ideas and feelings are factored in. In other words, any Unified Theory of how the Universe works has to include the HUMAN BRAIN in all of its complexity, in all of its amazingness. We are not quarks! We are QUIRKS! And only quirky will do, to explain everything.

Much deserved applause and awards for this brilliant and entertaining young scientist?

Hope it can happen for him.

I'll have to ask my children to explain to me what it means, but the music is good. I do understand the music.

I think there was a reference to Feynman, but it was very brief. That I understood. But most of it was far beyond me. Just amazing to mix science and music in that way.

When I clicked "start," I was hoping the video would contain really good, accurate science. By the time I got 15 seconds in, I didn't care.

Wonderful video.
