The best lecture series I have seen till date ( and I have seen lectures by top professors across great institutions in multiple countries) is Classical Physics by V. Balakrishnan from IIT Madras, India [1]. Only people who have thought about concepts deeply over a lifetime can deliver such truly delightful lectures. If you have an hour to spare, just listen to the first lecture [2] and it will profoundly impact your outlook on science (and physics in particular) [1] https://archive.nptel.ac.in/courses/122/106/122106027/ https://archive.nptel.ac.in/courses/122/106/122106027/ [2] https://youtu.be/Q6Gw08pwhws https://youtu.be/Q6Gw08pwhws

  After clicking through a few random lectures, this seems fantastic. I wish I'd found this during my physics B.Sc.

    For those not in the know NPTEL has a boatload of high quality STEM content. Often they will be the only place you can find the more advanced courses on certain less popular STEM courses.

I agree. His entire family has had storied research careers and highly regarded in their fields. Radha Balakrishnan, his wife, is a retired theoretical physicist, their son Hari Balakrishnan is a professor of CSAIL at MIT and daughter Hamsa Balakrishnan is a professor of aeronautics at MIT.

  imagine being born in that family and sucking at research.
