This isn't a new theory, but states that perhaps any mass is only the outcome of (previously set in) space curvature, and not the other way around.
That said, there is a somewhat problematic analogy for that in what the video's creator used - with shadows. The theory reminds me far more of the debate about primacy of position over object (Aristotle and others). That debate is primarily about whether the existence of an object somewhere is what defines a position where it is at, or the position already exists; likewise, in the video, there is the theory that perhaps space curvature is tied to some hidden reality and mass is presented due to it, not having any primacy and not being itself bordering - so to speak - with that "higher reality". So the issue with the shadow analogy in this video is with symbolic baggage: a shadow is an effect of something and thus not a symbol of primacy; if the theory is correct it would mean that you - as something in the system you function as - cannot observe your "closer to reality" "form", which isn't a form but space curvature.
If one feels like guessing why (assuming the theory was correct) you shouldn't be able to detect the closer to reality "existence" as space curvature, a simple answer would be that in this way you have no means of crucially altering it (you can alter the form, which ties to alterations to the curvature, but those are limited). Altering what you are standing on can lead to a free-fall, which would be ruinous if you weren't aware of the precariousness of your position in the first place.

I've been watching the Historia Civilis channel a lot on Youtube lately (although I'm surprised History Channel hasn't sued them yet over their logo ). I enjoy history in general so it popped up some time back in my "recommended" list. I've just discovered the trend of animated history documentaries in the last few years and I can't get enough of them. I really like the ones that use really simple (stick figure, block, blob, cutout) animation as well as the ones that use video game cutscenes. In any case, right now I'm enjoying their Roman History series. It's quite long with a ton of videos covering hundreds of years, with particular focus around the Julius Caesar era.

50 year anniversary of D. B. Cooper?

That is like saying Musk's offer of $54.20 per share for Twitter has to do with the April 20th phenomenon.

Or perhaps something more sinister?

It is a little neo-libby but its good tech and history talks. I appreciate his mannerisms and his appreciating for history and tech.

Two channels I've found recently that are worth sharing here. One I'd be surprised if some folks here aren't already familiar with, linked is the randomly-picked most-watched video in the collection, but broadly Drachinifel does videos on all sorts of 1800s-WW2 naval topics; individual ships, battles, design trends, what-ifs, etc etc and has a nicely dry wit woven in.

The other is "Star Trek Continues", roughly a season of new Star Trek Original Series with new actors but playing the same parts as Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, etc. Plus a new part, a ship's psychologist of sorts, but she's frikkin gorgeous so I'm not complaining.

multi-part episode on the Falkland war. I remember when it was going on, but I was unaware of how bloody it was.

Sink the Bismarck! was a black and white movie from 1960 I saw as a kid, I knew Bismarck had been hit in the battle with Prince of Wales but the damage was more extensive than the movie portrayed.
