First off, you'd have to have a pretty high understanding of quantum physics to get most of it. Second off, most of this stuff is already known.
He throws in a LOT of factual information, yes, but the "theory" that the video attempts to explain is retarded. Reasons why:
1. None of it is founded in mathematics except for the infamous C=hf. He shows no derivation and makes no explanation. Frequency of what? Quantized brain waves? According to the equation he is implying that consciousness is a form of energy - this also goes unexplained. The rest of the theory is explained philosophically, which makes it philosophy and not science. Without a mathematical description of the theory it is impossible to determine testable predictions.
2. The final half of the video is convoluted with nonsensical statements and misapplied generalizations. He does this strategically to give the impression that he is actually making a point, while in reality just rambling some made-up bullshit.
Reasons why it's a great troll video:
1. It's so well presented and authentic looking that people will be seduced into thinking that it is actually a ground-breaking theory.
2. He complicates his presentation to the point that people will accept it based on their inability to grasp the concepts (when in actuality there are none).
3. Lot's of valid scientific data is thrown in to lead-on people with a little bit of background in the subjects.
Overall I'm really impressed with the amount of effort put into a video just for the sake of trolling. I also think it might be some sort of social experiment to see who is lead into believing it because of the complexity and production quality.
