The basic argument presented in this picture is that stuff is made out of nothing or concepts, which are physically nothing, and that you should accept this conclusion because some famous mathmaticians(they are not physicists, they only ever did math) believed this.
Thus we are asked to believe something nonsensical, that physical objects are made of concepts and empty space, unless we are willing to disagree with these people who are saints in the hierarchy of science.
This picture presents itself as a criticism against the malpractice of science, but it illustrates clearly the most significant problem with science today, which is the unwillingness to question dogmas and the reliance on authority rather than reason.
It is similar to the story of the Emperor's new clothes. No one wants to be a stupid person who cannot see the emperor's clothes, but no one can see the clothes. As all of the people pictured on the left themselves admit, no one understand quantum mechanics.
The truth, I think, is really just this. The elites have favored physics as "the principal" science, and being unwilling to give up their old dogmas, which are found in the mysteries/hermeticism, they have simply projected these dogmas into the study of physics and made an monstrous abomination full of nonsensical, surrealistic concepts like 0 dimensional particles, black holes, dark matter, expansion of space(nothing), big bang creationism, particles that are not particles and objects that can be in several places or "states" at once, potentialities(complete nonsense) and so on. The whole field of physics is rotten, and the people who study it come out completely bewildered, unable to explain anything, having been brought to that state of mystification that Einstein himself thought were akin to enlightenment. They never take the step beyond mystification, into understanding, becaues they can't. They are using imaginary building blocks and can thus never construct anything by which they could elevate themselves into the realm of understanding.
