The best introduction to physics on the internet was not filmed at MIT, Yale, Oxford, or Cambridge. It was filmed in front of a white wall.
This is lesson 1 of an algebra-based Physics 1 course. Force, motion, energy. No crest, no lecture hall, no institution behind it.
He opens with the question every syllabus skips: what physics is, what it cares about, and why anyone should learn it. Most courses open with a vector diagram and lose half the room by week 2.
The unit covers Newton's laws, projectile motion, potential and kinetic energy, gravitation, momentum, collisions. A full first university semester, without calculus standing at the door.
Watch how slowly he moves through the first definitions. Nothing assumed, nothing skipped, the pace of someone who expects you to actually follow.
An engineer I know sent it to a career changer with no science background who finished the unit in 7 days.
Free on YouTube, whiteboard, no production.
Universities film the students who already got in.
