Discover the Best Places for Video Lectures and Informative Movies

I didn't have any lag problems, but I did have to enter the username and password a *lot*. I don't know what the username and password are, so I just closed the login box and the video played anyway.In summary, the conversation was about finding good resources for learning physics, specifically video lectures or informative movies. Some suggested links were provided, including MIT's OpenCourseWare and the Vega Science Trust's collection of videos featuring scientists such as Richard Feynman and Harry Kroto. There was also a mention of a comprehensive list of video links compiled by a member of Physics Forums. Some users experienced lag issues with the MIT server, but others did not.

Hi Everyone..

I want to learn some physics and I can't wait for school to teach me..

Do you know any good places on the Internet that got video lectures, or just informative movies??

Please post all the links you know :)

Thanks

There are some others, too. One of the members of PF has compiled a list of links somewhere, but I'm not able to recall that site right now.

That seems like a great collection of videos. If anybody knows of others, particularily in math and calculus, I'd be interested in knowing.

Here is the nicest collection of links I know of, thanks to Serkan Cabi. You can never get through them in your lifetime, so you'll have to be selective.

Nice collection indeed. :approve: Thanks.

You're welcome. Serkan Cabi is my hero. Just cruise around there and find really interesting and compelling lectures by Roger Penrose, Rocky Kolb, Michael Strauss...it goes on and on.

Feynman Videos

Hi, I'm new (as a member) here and don't know if any of you are interested but I came across this really good science video site the other day and just thought I'd pass it on :)

It's run by a group called the Vega Science Trust and they seem to have videos about all sorts of science topics but I was mainly there to watch the stuff by Richard Feynman (http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8) and Harry Kroto (http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/16)

The main site is at http://www.vega.org.uk - enjoy

Turbo-1,

You seem to have a good knowledge of Cabi's huge video link collection. Could you suggest any good order in which they may be tackled? Thanks.

Is it my internet connection or MIT server so much lagged?
