Might be interesting but I'm somewhat put off since at 23 seconds the female narrator at that point asks if infinity is a number and shortly answers probably so. plus some of the other stuff sounds like New Age hoo ha.

That's disappointing. At least you got as far as 23 seconds into trying to watch it; I didn't make it that far but I'm chronically video-lazy...

Oh, I watched the whole thing since it was only a couple of minutes and I was hoping that it would appeal to me but I'll be taking a pass.
