The first video describes the experiment itself, the second is more the explanation. To relate this back to TBBT, it's a bit like the dead/alive cat that Sheldon talks about a some point. Until you look in the box, the cat must be considered to be both alive and dead because you haven't observed it yet. It's a bit more complicated than that, of course, but I hope that helps! As a side note, these videos both come from the same documentary, What the Bleep do We Know: Down The Rabbit Hole. It's mind-blowing, and I highly reccomend it.
