Scientist talks about a parallel universe

It has automatic translation.

It doesn't translate for me so I can't check it out.

Nein to ze automatic translation. Manual settings Ja. Vos not funny so perhaps somezing vos lost in ze translation, ja?

[RdJ]

They make fun of those stupid tv programs we have in which someone who really has something to say is silenced, but I thought it was so hilarious because I have no idea either what he's talking about and he stays so friendly.

Oh  it does translate by selecting You Tube-Settings -Auto translate - Dutch to English.

Then what you have is about two minutes of brief introduction and encouragement to watch a program they will put on later (evidently).

The hosts are introducing a medical scientist Herman Goosens and his work on parallel or multi universe investigations. He has been working  on it for a decade himself. The short video seems to be  a teaser or ad for a program they want people to watch.

One can look up topic "Multiverse" or individual "Herman Goosens" if interested.

There is a pop in interest right now wherein it appears, according to some scientists that study such stuff, universes are infinite in number, and that particles may be pulled into ( Or choose) to respond to gravitational pull into (different) universes.

Kind of interesting, and for me to realize it all started when God created time, not all that long ago considering the expansion of time ( From a big bang moment) and the increasing pace of it. to an ever expanding infinite in size marvel of God's doing. Expressed as "on the first day God"....

Some first day, and some very very brief  description of it

The guy is just an actor. This is a really stupid Dutch humor program, but I think it's hilarious. They make fun of serious programs like this that really exist. The joke is that there never comes a follow up. They are too dumb and uninterested to know what he's talking about. He tries to explain it simple with Duplo and then the host gets enthusiastic. Oh LEGO! NO Duplo. Even that he has wrong. Then he starts to play with it. The guy talks about space and she says: oh do you need space in a relationship? He dismisses that nonsense and goes on and then she laughs dumb and says: yeah but who cares about your stupid little universe? At the end she walks away and the host guy is interested and asks him about foundations (it made the scientific world shake on its foundations) and he talks about quantum mechanics and then she calls him Bob! Oh gotta go! So they let that supposed scientist do all that effort to come in their show only to cut him off and belittle him because they're too stupid and uninterested.

I just like these blank stares cause I have no clue what he was talking about either.

We had this with family gatherings. My BIL was in IT or ICT, fixed the computers and such, so then you get: how's work? How are you doing? Oh nice. It goes well. I painted a nice map. And then he starts to talk about his job and you get all these blank stares, but at least you act a bit interested and say oh nice.

Hi Rdj, 

I got the SNL humor, for it's style, but did think they were going to do a more extensive bit or real program  on the subject of Multiverse so they got me there. Chuckle snork! Do you know was that  an actor that looks like Herman Goosens or was it the man Herman Goosens?  Was that too a spoof?

"Prof. Dr. Herman Goossens graduated as a medical doctor in 1982 at the Free University of Brussels. He is Emeritus Professor of Microbiology at the UA and Director of the Dept. of Clinical Pathology of the University Hospital, Antwerp. Prof. Dr. Goossens holds several expert positions in Belgium, the EU, the US, and the WHO. Prof. Dr. Goossens has more than 800 papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Prof. Dr. Goossens was elected chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance. He is the initiator of the annual European Antibiotic Awareness Day. With his translational research, he seeks to enhance the standard of healthcare quality, public health and professional standards. Prof. Dr. Goossens is a popular resource person and opinion leader, much sought after by local and international media for views on matters related to public health and infectious diseases."

 The recent images of universes beyond universes has excited interest in the subject; but I don't know if Herman Goosens is actually involved  in the research or whether the TV program just used the name. If that is an actor in the video he does look like the photo below, something SNL has done well over the years too. The "Duplo" bit was funny!

No I think they just used some random name.  This is someone else. I looked it up cause I thought: oh maybe you're right and he really is a scientist or there is a scientist with that name into parallel universes, but I can only find that doctor. That would be really funny if one played along. Sometimes they use a real important person.
