I think I'll pass, Plumchum.
Last time I gave you the benefit of the doubt and started watching your first quantum eraser clip, the stoned hipster narrating the thing told me I wouldn't understand anything he was about to say unless I'd watched part 1. Part 2 looked like about 6 or 7 minutes and Part 1 that I had to watch first was at least that long as well . . . so I decided spending all that time just to get involved in a discussion on a topic I know nothing about with a person who can't articulate his side of the argument was pointless.
I have no position on quantum erasers and I don't really care what they are or what they do.

It's a bit like reading Stephen Hawking. You don't understand any of it but it's fascinating nonetheless.
Throughout my life I've thought about novels or short stories I'd like to write. They would probably all be about time in some way . . . or strands of a possible reality that may have happened depending on certain decisions or circumstances . . . or the time/space possibilities as described in the delayed choice quantum eraser double slit experiment.
I also enjoy movies about time. Examples are Inception, Midnight in Paris, About Time, Looper, Butterfly Effect, Source Code etc.
Worth the watch, I admit.

I am not sure the person talking in these videos is truly an expert in the topic, and perhaps he is just someone that has read lots of books on the topic - to be able to chat about the ideas

Plum,
This topic (Quantum Physics) is so abstract and theoretically, that most people do not understand it. I also watch YouTube videos on astrology and I have actually seen this person before. I just get the impression that he is more someone that chats about the topic, than an actual scientist.
Have you seen Lawrence Krauss? He seems very knowledgeable

"Rooi, Draad got the joke. "
Oh really?
Well, unless you're communicating offline with Draadtrekker you're either basing that on his reply "Tell us more" or else his silly little "whoosh".
The former is a fairly clear indication that he wanted more information and didn't realize it was a joke while the second is a concept he's been struggling with for literally years now and still doesn't understand. . . so you've basically whooshed yourself.
