| Modern Physics Lectures by Leonard Susskind
Posted: 9/5/2009 12:51:10 PM | I just came across a whole load of lectures by Leonard Susskind of Stanford University, one of the major contributors to string theory.
It looks like his entire curriculum on modern physics. About 10 2-hour long downloadable lectures on each of topics like special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum entaglement. I've been downloading for days. He seems to communicate things exceptionally well, although the first few lectures I've watched are mostly the underlying math rather than the meat of the ideas. | |

Also get ahold of the Itunes software. It's worth installing. Go to "Itunes University" and listen in on many great, and not so great, lectures by professors from Berkely, Stanford, University of Texas, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, etc. etc. Most are actual lectures -- more and more professors are having their lectures taped so that students can listen in again on their IPODS, as they sit at the student union sipping their Starbucks mocha. Seems like the students have more money than many of the professors.
String theory is fascinating. Susskind is one of a kind. Brilliant. | |
