There's actually a community specifically for OpenCourseWare and similar sorts of free college lectures kind of content.

This is a huge series, and I've loved every moment of it. I am a layperson with a heavy interest in physical sciences, even since childhood. I had a very analytical mind even as a child but ended up deep in cs and tech starting late 70's.

I've watched many videos on chemistry and particle physics with a huge wad of astrophysics as well. The male influences in my life were heavy into atmospheric, material, and earth sciences so I was exposed at an early age.

All this to say, the reason I personally found this course so enriching is that it formally filled-in so many "blanks" that I was unaware I even had. And even though I previously understood the bulk of the content to some degree, it managed to logically order it all in my mind, and give me a completely new perspective, and a new framework to tie together so many concepts.

I also thought the main professor was incredible. I learned a lot about my own teaching methods just by watching how incredibly adept his was at both the communication and technical aspects of in-class teaching.

Even if you only have time for 1st video in the series, I heartily recommend to anybody interested in an accessible, yet meaningful dive into physics.

I got about 2 minutes into video 1 and my AI sensors started tingling.

Interesting that this is 5 hours of AI narration, where I can list ATLEAST 4 other videos with a)human narration, and b) visual video editing.

Why would you join the content creation club if you don't want to actually do the narration?

LLM-narration helps people sleep…? 🤨

Or The Westley Crusher™.

The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they're not called "The Beverlys Crusher" lol.

Then there's the Wesley Crushers

That was really chill!

It takes 30 minutes for them to actually start playing the game. And then they... go to Sirius 🤣

This looks so much like me playing UQM for the first time! Awesomeness. I had forgotten how stupid the word "Navigate" was for that purpose.
