I think the first link is more a pop science show than real depth...this is a much better series from feynmen(unfortunately its really long):

Wow, what a find! These are well worth sitting through, but if you don't want to invest four hours, the content of these videos is in Feynman's book "QED". But if you're ever going to spend four hours watching QM lectures, make it these.

NOT "unfortunately". Thanks for the links. I have the entire Feynman Lectures on Physics series but have never actually heard his voice.

Fantastic. Feynman is the most amazing scientist possible - enlightening and (seemingly) approachable, yet still a genius. I can only hope that there will be more like him in the future.

I think it was Richard Feynman that once wrote: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics"

If it wasn't him, then he certainly said something akin to that (there's a number of similar remarks made by a number of different physicists)

Not entirely. QM is puzzling, but not as bad as most popularizations lead you to believe. That's why I added the second link.

Here's a paper that the second link is based on in case you don't want to sit through the video:
