Conan O'Brien and Jim Carrey on quantum physics [humor]

Via videosift.com

Watch Conan O'Brien, Jim Carrey, and Max Weinberg "discuss" quantum physics.

The clip is from the variety show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, aired on February 21, 2007.

The material Carrey used was a 1999 paper from the Harvard physics department entitled, "Stochastic Phase Switching of a Parametrically Driven Electron in a Penning Trap."

Gerald Gabrielse of Harvard, one of the paper's authors, said that it was 'perhaps the most obscure paper I've ever written'.

The video can be seen from: NBC, YouTube, here, and here.
