    I prefer the example where I'm a kid and have an infinite number of cookies.

    It isn't true that predictions based on classical physics (CF) disagree w/ experiments. It's the wrong interpretation of CF that were at odds w/ experiments. For more cf. youtube channel qmiscm as well as prof. Yves Couder's experiments.

    Was the reference to 37 cookies intentional? Because in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, Dudley throws a tantrum for exactly 37 gifts for his birthday too. Surely that can't be a coincidence, can it?

    Yes we have all seen gas cookers i.e. blue flames, but still haven't seen a heated object turn green or violet, so no you're still an idiot...

    I already answered your question, it's not my fault that you're unable to understand it. Watch the video again (and actually pay attention this time). And for future reference, insulting people won't help you get an answer.
