Discussion Overview

The thread discusses resources for video lectures and informative movies related to physics, with participants sharing links and recommendations for various topics, including classical mechanics and electromagnetism. The focus is on finding quality educational content available online.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for online video lectures and informative movies about physics.
  • Several participants provide links to MIT OpenCourseWare for classical mechanics and electromagnetism.
  • Another participant mentions large collections of video lectures available from Berkeley and highlights the presence of Feynman lectures on various platforms.
  • A member shares a comprehensive collection of links curated by Serkan Cabi, suggesting that the volume of content is vast and requires selectivity.
  • One participant introduces the Vega Science Trust as a source for science videos, particularly those featuring Richard Feynman and Harry Kroto.
  • A later reply asks for guidance on the best order to approach the video links shared.
  • Concerns are raised about potential lag issues with the MIT server or individual internet connections when accessing the resources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the value of the shared resources, but there is no consensus on the best way to approach the vast amount of content available or on the technical issues related to accessing the links.

Contextual Notes

Some links provided may have varying levels of accessibility or content quality, and participants express uncertainty about the performance of specific servers or internet connections.

Maxwells Demon
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.

Please try to find it :)
 
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?
