What physics videos should I watch?

In summary, the conversation is about a newcomer seeking recommendations for YouTube videos to learn about physics. The mentor suggests watching Feynman videos, but cautions against relying solely on YouTube as a source of education. They also suggest starting with the collection of video links already available on PF.

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

: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.
