It does nothing of the sort. Extensive research on the two slit experiment has led to 1. the realization of the duality of the both particle and wavelength nature of electrons, and 2. that electrons are not necessarily matter in the common sense of the word. The unusual nature of the measuring anomaly was determined by Heisenburg in the 1930's, so that is nothing new.The super luminality of electrons, again is old news. That was determined back in the 1970's, IIRC.
Current electron and sub atomic theory has the electron as being not a particle at all but a state of energy (string theory).
Remember Newtonian physics still apply for the macro world. It is at the subatomic world where quantum physics apply, although we are finally seeing or being aware of the ramifications of the quantum in the macro world.
The double slit experiment was conducted in 1803.
Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle in 1927
Feynman published his diagrams in 1947. The interesting part about his diagrams is that it reveals the possibility of electrons moving backwards in time.
J.S. Bell published his theory in 1962, IIRC, giving mathematical proof for non localized reality.
First proof indicating the applicability was in 1971, IIRC and further proof ( Aspect) was not obtained till 1982's.
All the video (admittedly charmingly done), is to present the learning of the above gentlemen and then some.
