I knew what video this was going to be before I even clicked on the
link. It's really quite spectacular.

It's actually the first time I see reasonable comments on youtube.

Yeah. Even an illiterate person ought to understand that if the mass
in "E = mc^2" is close to zero, then E would equal zero, not c^2... :)
(Of course that pseudoscientific speech gets even more awesome as it
progresses...)

it's also the first time I see you using an emoticon. All thanks to homeopathy.
;P

Clearly from the video, I learned the speed of light incorrectly - it's
clearly c^2, not c. After all, they wouldn't like about something so
basic as that, would they? ;-)
(The James Randi video about homeopathy was quite good as well, showed up
as a 'related' video)

It would be one of the better uses of 'anti-terrorist' laws to have this
woman arrested for threatening her neighbor with an WMD. After all, the
apparently as m decreases the energy increase then her small handheld
anti-dog poop 'bomb' must be infinitely powerful.
Oww, my head hurts now. This kind of thought makes it hard to even mock
them in their own words. How much mass am I? Well, right about my weight
in kilograms, lady.

Heh, but her density is far higher than her mass and size would
indicate. ;-)

I've heard more accurate science on Star Trek.

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?

First I thought she was going to confuse nuclear and chemical processes.
Then I was willing to go with her in seeing what witty philosophical observation
she'd make out of her reasonable observation that most of matter (volumetrically
speaking) is nothing. Then with E=c^2 I felt so betrayed, not even catching
the math mistake.

The math failure is the most obvious mistake. At a more generic level,
you can't just redefine the meaning of "mass" and then use the exact same
formula as if it was still valid. Because that's exactly what she did: She
changed the meaning of "mass" in "E=mc^2" to her own definition (seemingly
something along the lines of "everything that is not empty space") while
still considering the equation valid. However, the 'm' in "E=mc^2" is not
"everything that is not empty space".
