Col Not Colin Posted February 15, 2021 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. Edited February 15, 2021 by Col Not Colin Just watched more

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.

Col Not Colin Posted February 16, 2021 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.

ScienceNostalgia101 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Huh? No Captain Disillusion? The guy's a genius! He even figures out the video editing tricks used in hoax videos! (I presume from my reputation on this site I don't need to prove this guy isn't me?)

Holmes Posted June 27, 2021 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
IanNazr Posted June 28, 2021 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.
joigus Posted December 17, 2022 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
Moontanman Posted December 17, 2022 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. Ohh Ohh, one more Cool Worlds Edited December 17, 2022 by Moontanman 1

Grogingly Posted May 22 Posted May 22 Sorry for posting as a new user but just had a question. I have been watching a YouTube channel, Anton Petrov, for a few years now as another source of science news and don't necessarily know how to feel about his content anymore, especially since it has seemed to become more clickbaity. To those who see this post, what is your opinion on using him as a media source? Should add, as a plus side, he does always include a link to the paper he is talking about in the description, which is why I have always kinda trusted his content. If you do not know about Anton Petrov, here is a link to the channel: https://youtube.com/@whatdamath?si=JVFexgtfAOCrRekL
