If you want to get straight to the action, skip to 1:58 to 2:18.
It has some extremely funny moments, e.g. 'prehistoric sandstone' or the 'colour shift', although I should add that I find this sort of nonsense profoundly worrying--mainly the silly use of pseudo-conceptual mumbo jumbo by the main protagonists ('time stream', 'silica', 'field', 'energy').
It's obviously not so much of a problem for these charlatans, who only use this to make money, but to those who are credulous enough to believe it. They are very confused indeed.
