What physics videos should I watch?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended YouTube videos for learning physics, particularly for newcomers. The Feynman videos are highlighted as a safe and entertaining resource, although they are not considered comprehensive educational tools. Participants caution against relying solely on YouTube for physics education, emphasizing the importance of textbook learning to avoid misconceptions. The conversation suggests that while YouTube can spark curiosity, foundational knowledge should be acquired through structured educational materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of physics concepts
  • Familiarity with educational video platforms like YouTube
  • Knowledge of textbook resources for physics
  • Ability to discern quality educational content
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Feynman Lectures on YouTube for foundational physics concepts
  • Research reputable physics textbooks for structured learning
  • Investigate other educational channels that provide accurate physics content
  • Learn about common misconceptions in physics to enhance understanding
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students new to physics, educators seeking supplementary resources, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of physics through reliable video content.

Hello everyone! I'm a newcomer.I don't know a lot about physics because I'm just a student.What are the videos (in YouTube ) I should watch to gain knowledge in physics?

I'm not sure we can give YouTube sources as educational links. Mentor?

Yes.I need some YouTube links which give me idea of physics.

:welcome:The only safe recommendation I would give are the Feynman videos. There are quite a few on youtube and very entertaining. There are also some physics and mathematics channels which aren't bad, but I wouldn't recommend them as a source to learn from. In my opinion they are more a source to become curious about the real answers, as taught in textbooks. This includes the Feynman videos as well. Chances are high that you will find a video were something is explained in a faulty way or even more likely, misunderstood by you, and nothing is more difficult than to correct views once learned as being correct. It is not only easier but also the right approach to learn it the right way from the beginning.

Why not start with the collection of video links that we already have on PF?
