Back to the Basics on Physics
Check out a selection of some of my favorite short videos on concepts of physics, many from some of today’s leading physists, including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene and Leonard Mlodinow. I encourage students with an interest in physics to views these and get inspired.
Space Time
This video from SpaceClic provides a compelling visual and musical journey to the edge of our universe, visualizing the fabric of space-time in order to study its dynamics and different forms.
Visualizing the Nucleus
This video from MIT nicely summarizes the nucleus in a simple way from the curious for the beginner who wants a smart summary
Physics in 14 Minutes
This is a video for the true beginner with a fun explanation of the field of physics with animation and simple explanations.
Neil deGrasse Tyson on Energy
In this video, you can learn about energy from one of the formative experts and communicators on astrophysics through engaging dialogue in the StarTalk series.
Leonard Mlodinow on Quantum Mechanics
This is a video in which the American theoretical physicist and mathematician, screenwriter and author provides a simple and compelling overview on the basics of quantum mechanics
Brian Greene on String Theory
Physicist Brian Greene explains superstring theory, the idea that minuscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe.
Janna Levin on the Sound of the Universe
This is a video in which the American theoretical cosmologist and author provides a fascinating TED Talk on back holes and what we understand about them.
