FWIW, what he's saying in this clip isn't some weird idea he dreamed up himself. The quantum foam concept came from John Wheeler back in the 1950s. The notion that the bubbles give birth to universes was proposed by physicist Andrei Linde in the 1990s. It's one of several competing approaches in the field of theoretical physics. In that exotic context, it's mainstream. It isn't Hagelin's physics that physicists have a problem with; it's the connections he makes to consciousness and the Vedic literature. On the other hand, there's a bunch of highly credentialed (non-TM) physicists who are convinced there are very strong connections to be made between physics principles and consciousness. That's not mainstream yet, but it's getting there.
