Any Good Resources for Non-Technical, Non-"Popular" Physics Videos?

I am a huge fan of Richard Feynman, because he would often give lectures which were not directed at a technical-mathematical audience yet which nonetheless didn't 'fake' elements or resort to goofy comparisons such as billiard balls and so forth. Yet I find it is quite difficult to locate any other video lectures that replicate that same sort of 'cusp' level of explanations, there are plenty of lectures on the technical aspects which I simply do not have the training to follow; but the majority of videos aimed at laypersons always seem to make extremely false metaphors like comparing string theories to literal vibrations or using every topic of quantum physics as an excuse to bring up alternate dimensions (and no, not the nuclear voids or other possible uninhabitable universes, always ones where you have nine toes, etc).

Does anyone know what I mean? I want something aimed at something other than the general television audience, but which doesn't require calculus to follow.

Thanks, Ricky.

Mathematics is really the only way to appreciate what something actually means.

There is no such thing as ""Non technical and Non popular science":cool:
 


RJmooreII, I understand what you mean. And I believe its possible to explain things like you said.
Actually true understanding of principles doesn't mean being able to Integrate an expression and arrive at the other; Only the best can explain it flawlessly to the Non-technical but intelligent people (like yourself)

Cheers:
I hope that , it helped. :)
