And believe me you really don't want to see it, spare yourself. I cringed all the way through it yesterday. JH honestly thinks that by using terms no-one understands they will assume he is talking sense, (actually, ranting sense) not me I've had a good read of current quantum theory and I happen to know he's talking out of his arse, I suspect he knows it too and if anyone is to challenge his grasp of physics on these conferences the instruction is to give them the opportunity to buy a DVD so they can watch it again! He sounds completely demented to me and yet MMY has claimed everyone must treat what JH says as though M himself said it and all that that entails. The only conclusion I can draw from all this is that the TMO is on self-destruct. Probably not long to go before the last gasp.
