What are the best physics lingo/starter pack/staples? (websites and resources)

[scribkibs]

Forgive me for my bad explaining. What are all the usual sites/tools/etc. that physicists and physics students use? For example--arXiv, LaTeX, the best journals to keep up with the latest physics research/discoveries, the Feynman Lectures (and Feynman himself), Griffiths Electrodynamics, CERN, spherical cow (lol), GradSchoolShopper, SPS, anything like that that's popular and well-known among physics students. Thank you so much!

So unpacking your post:

- latex is for writing printable equations in a word processing document

- arxiv is for prepublishing papers before they go to a journal if ever for comment from other people in the field

- feynman lectures are great for learning from a master physicist but as time goes on they become dated

- griffiths is a standard in electrodynamics used in many undergrad courses.
- other books like goldstein's classical mechanics
- dirac's quantum mechanics yellow book
- kip thorne's tome on physics
- penrose road to reality is a good hefty read on modern physics
- gulberg birth of numbers tome for math history upto first year college
...

- CERN runs high-energy particle smashing experiments to tease out the inner working of atomic particles

Youtube channels like:
- veritaseum,
- smarter-everyday,
- numberphile, computerphile....
- minute physics,
- physics girl,
- tibees,
- mathologer,
- 3blue1brown,
- khan academy and
- mathispower4u.com

Physics concepts
- Feynman lectures online
- Susskind's theoretical minimum book series and online course series are good for people getting back into physics as a hobby. they cover classical, quantum, and relativistic fields.

One of the most useful things I did as an undergraduate, for improving my knowledge of current physics, was joining the Society of Physics Students, via my college's local chapter. It included a subscription to Physics Today magazine, which had (and still has) good introductory review-type articles about current research fields, aimed at physicists who are not specialists in those fields. It also has good articles about the history of physics.
