At our Montréal event, Claude G. Théorêt breaks quantum physics and the creation of our universe down in a way that even the least science-savvy folks can understand.

From balloons to blankets, Claude uses a variety of props and simple slides to illustrate the most complex theories—perfect from astrophysicists and the not-so-much alike. The video is a great watch not only to learn a bit more about our universe, but to switch gears and get you thinking in a new way.

Speaking on the intersection of art and science, Claude says, “Being a real scientist or a real creative, means being at the limit of the known and unknown. And that’s where things are confusing. And if you’re not there, you’re not pushing yourself hard enough.”
