Paul Rudd challenges Stephen Hawking to an epic game of Quantum Chess
Who will triumph?
One is the greatest mind in modern science. The other is Stephen Hawking.
Yes, Paul Rudd, he of the mighty miniature superhero movie Ant-Man, challenges the physicist to a game of 'quantum chess' (like real chess, except the pieces have QUANTUM POWERS), in a bizarrely brilliant short film narrated by Keanu Reaves.

The video has everything, from fake celebrity Twitter commentary to geeky quantum mechanics in-jokes.
Bill and Ted director Alex Winter created the film for a Caltech university event, discussing the future of quantum technologies.
As Hawking told us, there's nothing like "a sense of humour" to keep you sharp.
