Is the guy in blue mentally challenged? If not, he should just be fired, he is annoying and unenigmatic to watch

Hey guy in the blue shirt, please get back to changing my oil. I really have to get going.

@senseofnickels keanu reeves learning from long duck dong....dong asks him a question, and follows with "that's weird, right?"

Test slits under water u get 2 beams from the laser.

@austpom333 Ye I was told, I actually knew some of his music, its just that watching the video it seemed an odd choice for a host, and the description dont explain that its about him learning his fathers work, which gives it more sense. If it wasnt like that, chosing someone like this would be a bad choice from the production company.

@crosbying No its just not his scene ( he is not interested ) - he is into music, he doesn't know much about his fathers work

@Strawhat78 I knew this clip was familiar. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

this happens because the act of observing changes everything.

It's like Keanu Reeves hosting a science show.

In the words of Nobel prize winner Richard Feynman everything there is to know about quantum mechanics is contained with the double slit experiment. What is shown here is very simplified. Diffraction, the mechanism causing the interference pattern, also occurs with matter such as electrons and protons. This demonstrates the partical/wave duality of nature. There is also a temporal effect which defy the concept of causality. The more you know about it the more amazing it is.
