Deepak Chopra Fail
It's fun to see somebody with both a knowledge of physics and a sense of humour take on Deepak the Woo-Meister.

Stuff about palaeontology, systematics, general biology, and whatever I feel like ranting about when it comes to news, politics, pop culture, or whatever else.

Normally I'd actually watch the clip before commenting but "Deepak Chopra Fail" pretty well sums up his career.
Deepak Chopra looked a bit nervous after hearing that the guy was a physicist.
That physicist, Leonard Mlodinow, is now friends with Deepak Chopra. After this encounter, Chopra took him up on his offer to teach Chopra. They have now written a book together called War of the Worldviews where they each present their own view on a number of different topics. I actually think it's a good sign that they have become friends despite their obvious disagreements over some fundamental things. I'm not a Chopra fan, but I think it does say something about him that he very willingly accepted corrective teaching. It remains to be seen if it makes a difference in the long run.
