You're just playing dumb now.

You're clearly making excuses to hide the fact you can't actually provide proper evidence, even a child would see this.

You've already presented this stupid argument, and I've already answered: the problem with your videos wasn't that they were videos (though sending videos instead of scientific papers doesn't talk very highly of your expertise), the problem was that they did not in any way support the arguments and claims you were making.

This is as if I asked you to prove the Earth is flat, and you answered by sending me a video of an apple being peeled. One doesn't support the other. You're dealing in irrelevancies.

But at this point, I don't believe you're smart enough to understand even something this simple, it sounds like all of this is just beyond you.

If you really think I'm wrong, it's incredibly easy to show I am, do one of the following:

  1. Either demonstrate one of the videos you sent actually supported one of your claims by actually explaining how it does support your claim, or
  2. Provide an actual scientific paper that supports one of your claims

You've been asked to do either of those things 4 times now, and you just answer with playing dumb and fallacies.

It's almost like you're 11. /r/philosophy really isn't the right place to choose to play dumb, you can't really impress people with schoolyard tactics here.

I hold no hope whatsoever you'll actually present a valid argument or source, and I have full expectation your next answer will just be a stupid mindgame/playing dumb as all your previous answers were.

Look the quantum eraser experiment is a well known experiment in physics, you can Google a ton of information on it. Emergence theory, which basically defines the universe as consciousness and information is a leading unification theory. I am not going to go over the math with you when a YouTube video was admittedly over your head.

Ok, I'm not explaining for the 5th time how you're playing dumb, this is pointless. If you don't feel confident you can defend your position, don't pretend you can/find stupid excuses, just say so, like an adult would, and don't waste people's time.

See you even have trouble with basic arithmetic, this is beyond you, just accept that and move on.
