Last week I found wolfram alpha by random chance and it blew my mind, a couple days later I ran across this channel on youtube, and I can't stop watching their videos.

I'm officially saying it's the greatest youtube channel ever.

You will love it, trust me. http://www.youtube.com/user/sixtysymbols

Snipped from the channel description:
This is Sixty Symbols - a channel devoted to those funny letters and squiggles used by physicists and astronomers.

We're posting videos about what they mean and how they're used - plus other interesting stuff about physics and astronomy.

Another great youtube channel, but I think everyone already knows about this one.

Very cool, thanks for the share!
 
Hey great links thanks guys :)
 
Very cool, or stiller and stiller :biggrin:
 
Just watched the one called Nobel Prize in Physics 2009. The experiment they did with fiber optics was pretty awesome. It would be really cool if I could do that myself at home lol.
