    I watched a little of the video.

     

    What significance to physics is there that the building at CERN is the same shape as a magnet that makes pretty plasma shapes when placed in a bell jar of low pressure hydrogen?

    It is misdirecting the viewer by finding a shape in a building at place of known scientific research and presenting it as significant when the same shape can be found everywhere.

    Space hoppers, The Epcot centre and soap bubbles all have shapes that would no doubt make similar pretty patterns of plasma in a similar situation.
