This piece gives off a bad vibe. My BS alarm bells are ringing. It uses words like verifying and confirming instead of falsifying and testing. It proclaims how he was right all along, long before his theory was tested. Even for a sales pitch, this is pushing it a bit.
Do physicists really speak differently?
Not sure what you mean.

This was posted here on lesswrong a while ago, but they recently uploaded a new version of the video and I took the liberty of typing up a transcript.
The video is fairly long, about 25 minutes. But it's incredibly engaging and I highly recommend watching it. For those who prefer text (because it's faster or because you are a computer), you can read the transcript in this google doc, or below in the comments. Enjoy!
