It is an entirely crazy proposition. A single physics course is approximately 50 hours of instruction. You have to take about 20 of those. You can't squeeze that down 30x with no loss of resolution.
Again, in your example, you're suggesting you can learn all of the physics one would normally learn in four years of almost-full-time study in six months of part-time study.
It's just not happening. Physics is hard.
- lokedhs 5y agoOf the course that's not happening. What it does is to give an understanding of the concepts, but you won't be able to actually do the maths. The the series, he shows some of the maths so as to give you an idea how you get to the conclusions that popular science just explained as fact, but isn't rigorous. Almost all physics material is either simple explanations with analogies and no maths. Or it's the full textbook. The video series is a very rare example of a middle ground where maths is used to explain the concepts to an audience which are not expected to be actual employed physicists.
