Where can I find beginner-friendly physics videos to understand the universe?

AI Thread Summary
Beginner-friendly physics videos are sought to build a foundational understanding of the universe without the pressure of exams. The individual has a basic mathematical background, including mid-level algebra and geometry, and is open to learning calculus concurrently. Leonard Susskind's lectures from Stanford on YouTube are already appreciated and serve as a positive reference. Recommendations for additional resources that cater to beginners and simplify complex concepts are requested. The goal is to achieve a decent grasp of physics through accessible video content.

Hello all,

I am looking for a set of videos/youtube lectures which can take somebody from zero physics knowledge up to a decent standard. This is purely for personal reasons as I'm not taking exams and would just like to have a relatively good understanding of the universe (as we know it).

My mathematical ability is reasonably low (I'm a software developer - we don't tend to need much!) but I have a good grasp of mid level algebra, geometry, trigonometry, exponentials, logarithms...If any of these are any use. I know Calculus is pretty essential but perhaps I could learn that alongside it?

If anybody has suggestions please do let me know.

I really enjoyed all of the Leonard Susskind lectures on physics from Stanford available on YouTube.
 

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
