Nice non-technical documentary:

Cosmic Time – A documentary about time. (runtime: 1 hour) (T3)

No background knowledge is required, and the video offers an interesting introduction to some physics concepts.

This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics

Filed under: Maths, Physics, Resources — likedustthrown @ 6:25 pm

This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics is a not quite weekly column on mathematical physics by John Baez. It is currently on week 276, and so there’s a massive back catalogue of interesting articles available to read. If you are not overly into maths and/or physics then a) you should be, and b) you can be, as his site has a guide for those who want to know how to learn maths and physics. If you would rather turn your computer off and throw it out the window than learn any maths, you can still check out John’s fun stuff page, which contains some interesting material about neither maths nor physics.

If you are still not satisfied, John Baez has also produced the crackpot index, “A simple method for rating potentially revolutionary contributions to physics” which is somewhere inbetween the two extreams.
