5 Greatest Physics Lectures of All Time
Remarkable concepts explained by remarkable professors
--
If you are a physics major, you must have explored the internet looking for some simple explanations of complicated topics of physics. There are many freely available resources out there on the internet — lecture videos, pdfs, notes, books, etc. that you can use as a reference for your subject majors. I have a major in physics and mathematics so I shall be talking about these two disciplines, as always. There are certain lectures out there that are gold. They are remarkable, authentic, and amazingly thought-provoking. In this article, I shall share the five best physics lectures that you can watch right now for free.
Dirac Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
Physicist Paul Dirac is considered to be one of the most prolific theoretical physicists of the 20th century. The 1933 Physics Nobel laureate revolutionized the field of quantum mechanics by pioneering Quantum electrodynamics and introducing the Dirac equation which predicts the existence of antimatter. There are four lectures of the physicist freely available on YouTube. The lectures focus on quantum mechanics and its various aspects. The videos are uploaded by Richard Smythe.
Feynman Messenger Lectures
Richard Feynman isn’t a new name in my blogs. I’ve written plenty of stories about him and will keep doing so. He is one of my favorite physicists, not just because he was smart but because he could smartly explain complicated concepts in physics and in general any scientific concept with simplicity and elegance and ease. These lectures were delivered by the physicist around 1964 at the prestigious Cornell University. They have been made freely available on the internet by the official FeynmanLectures website.
