The Biggest Ideas in the Universe by Sean Carroll, an intro to modern physics, including homotopy and quantum field theory. He does some math but you'll follow if you've finished high school. Don't miss the Q&A videos in between the 26 regular episodes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HI09kat_GeI

Whoa, this will keep me busy for a lot of boring mornings. There are a lot of physics concepts I struggle to understand, like what are electrons if they aren’t orbiting particles as we were taught, and what really is quantum entanglement. This playlist will definitely help, thanks!

FYI if you watch the video and like it, he also has a great podcast (Mindscape) which often involves physics but usually combines it with some other topic being discussed with a guest.

https://m.youtube.com/c/everyframeapainting Every Frame A Painting. A great channel (that I wish was getting new videos) going deep on about aspects of moviemaking, editing, musical scores etc. High production quality videos and interesting even if you’re not a film buff or movie nerd.

Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos (of Every Frame A Painting) are involved with Netflix's new show Voir, which seems to follow the same video essay format. Haven't watched it yet, but it's on my list.

How The Economic Machine Works by Ray Dalio comes to mind. It's 31 minutes long and provides a great high-level overview of basic economic principles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHe0bXAIuk0&t=3s

This was my go-to video to put me to sleep, but it has sound effects and I found other videos. The two others are Clayton Christensen's talk at Google, and John Danaher's appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. These two are just amazing as the dynamic range of everyone's voice is so narrow. They don't have ups and downs. Their voice is rather monotonic and soothing. I'm asleep in less than 5 minutes. I know because I…
