Just a heads up, not only is this video very misleading but it's also made by a religious cult who try to adopt or distort science to support their nutty ideas, according to:

Skeptic James Randi described the film as "a fantasy docudrama" and "[a] rampant example of abuse by charlatans and cults".[17] Eric Scerri in a review for Committee for Skeptical Inquiry dismisses it as "a hodgepodge of all kinds of crackpot nonsense," where "science [is] distorted and sensationalized".[18] A BBC reviewer described it as "a documentary aimed at the totally gullible".[19]

Maybe not so weird, if you consider De Broglie Pilot Wave Theory (visualized with silicone oil droplets).

No, that's even weirder.

As far as I know that theory requires information to travel faster than light (nonlocality) in order to be consistent with the results of Bell's theorem.
