The entire first minute could be summed up in three words: ‘we have souls.’ Whether that is true or not, it certainly isn’t news and it certainly doesn’t need sixty very tedious seconds to tell. Energy is not a language. Energy can be modulated to carry information, which would have to be transmitted in some kind of language. Again, this is not news. It is what we do every time we open our mouths to speak. And it does not make energy a language any more than it makes a newspaper a language.

I’m sorry to say I ran out of patience about ninety seconds in, so I can’t comment on the rest. I have to say the music was very silly, kind of no-budget portentous, and the visuals bore absolutely no relationship to the words on the screen. They made me think of a hymn I used to sing in my school choir, one that went

Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
Of circling planets singing on their way...


Not exactly the effect you were hoping for, I guess, but then...

Actually, I did expect that since you've made it quite clear that "your mind is firmly closed" in your description.

VideoDude: Actually, I did expect that since you've made it quite clear that "your mind is firmly closed" in your description.

Closed it may be, but it is still capable of discriminating between hope and expectation. And, moreover, capable of detecting irony in obvious cases, such as my avatar.

Seriously, is that the best response you’re capable of? I suppose it’s too much to expect anyone impressed by that video to be a dab hand at repartee. Still, my point stands: energy is not and cannot be a language. Energy radiating or flowing away from a source can be made to carry information but it is not in itself information. Care to address that?
