  • Never mind that, when can a video be both 60 seconds and 81 seconds in duration?

  • why do i look at this ? i dont even know

  • wait a second.. if an atom is in two states at once then the universe is one strange place... dare i say... it probably could have created itself because its just that weird. you got weird things that if you travel AT the speed of light, time stops for you... if you travel at 99% of the speed of light you age much slower... somehow i find it more believable to say that the universe created itself than saying a god created himself to make the universe appear like it created itself.

  • so.. when no one is reading this comment, the ammount of thumbs up = any possible number = the ammount of thumbs down, meaning that the two top comments could be nothing more than a random result of quantum nonlocality. So there could be some people out there who will read this as one of the two top comments, but according to quantum physics, this comment could be all other comments on any other video, and the text on any other website. I just spammed the entire world and nobody noticed...

  • Ummmmmm I don't understand quantum theory enough for this to make any sense.

  • LOL its all an illusion Consciousness trying to work itself out.

  • @chrisfass He starts speaking at ~00:10 and stops at ~1:10 so that's 60 seconds for you. If you want to be more technical, the thing starts at 00:10 sense the intro does not count, and ends at ~1:14 meaning it's about 64 seconds.

  • @Wolffheartt The idea sounds more philosophical than a scientific , specifically philosophy of senses
