Sean Carrol has a series he’s working on called “The Biggest Ideas in the Universe” which is on physics. Only the first one is out now (Time, Space, and Motion), but the second is due in May I think (on Quanta and Fields). Its intended audience is anyone with a high school education. It introduces basic ideas in calculus and then does use equations to motivate understanding, but not at the level you’d need if you were actually studying physics. I have a bachelor’s in physics but still deepened my understanding of General Relativity from the first one. Highly looking forward to part 2. https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/biggestideas/ https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/biggestideas/
- steve_adams_86 3y agoNice, this was the push I needed to start reading his book. I really enjoy his podcast and was on the fence about taking it on (thinking I don’t have the brain cells required to soak in the book) but the way you described it makes it seem like a fairly tractable project.
