Col Not Colin Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) WANTED: Recommendation for a Cosmology Lecture series. Hi everyone. Not sure where to locate this post. Can anyone recommend a more up-to-date lecture series I can watch with similar detail and presumed background knowledge? I've seen this one and I can recommend it to others. Full lecture series on Cosmology from standford University available on Youtube (from 2013). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-medYaqVak&t=1549s There's another full lecture course in the MIT opencourseware series on YT (from about 2014): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANCN7vr9FVk&list=PL4BUyFYOFtUZIUtcSDo6vm4HPxS9aZmHC I've started watching that one. However, I can't help noticing that half the things mentioned as hopes for future developments have now actually happened and we have those results. Not sure if it's worth the hours of watching if I've already seen the Stanford lecture series and I'd appreciate any advice just about that. Can anyone recommend a more up-to-date lecture series please? Not a popular science documentary, something similar to a full lecture course for undergraduates or post-grads, please. Thank you for your time and advice. Late editing: Some statements made in the MIT lecture are becoming very painful to hear now (e.g. Energy conservation as a sovereign principle). Perhaps this isn't even as up-to-date as 2014, maybe it was just released to youtube on that date. I don't think I will be watching any more of this.

Skipped through the rest of those (two) videos. It's just a short survery or lunchtime interest thing over two lectures. Dissapointing, no graphics, no Mathematics, very brief. Might have been useful if you were there and could have asked questions but as a YT video, less useful than watching a good documentary. Still seeking recommendations for a good Cosmology lecture series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Not Colin Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 @iNow I don't want you to feel under pressure but if this isn't good, I'm going to cry all night. Then I'm going to come back here and change my +1 to -infinity. Seriously, thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I think the various TV series from James Burke are about as good as it gets when teaching science to the uninitiated or younger students. For example consider this for starters: Edited June 27, 2021 by Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanNazr Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Everyone will say scishow which is a pop science meme show but SEA is a good one for space related stuff. Also PBS has a space program that a physicist hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joigus Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 History of the Earth: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_aOteuWIY8ITg7DQQspG1g History of the universe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtRFmSyL4fSLQkn-wMqlmdA Excellent channels as far as I can tell, and I've been watching them for quite a while. High quality by my standards. Excellent narrative and prose in English, beautiful and precise imagery with text info that you can look up and doesn't disappear in half a second. Loads of information that you can follow up. On top of it all, excellent choices of accompanying music, so you can use then to sit in front of a screen, unwind your troubled self, and let your imagination go back to the first eons of our world, our solar system, our universe, and the origins of life. I highly recommend them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontanman Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I looked but didn't see this woman's great channel. Sabine Hossenfelder and I failed to add the links to the two I have already mentioned. Isaac Arthur and Trey the Explainer, another great channel is E.D.G.E There are so many that get little mention for some really good work.
