The Dark Side of time:this is most complicated video on my list. It is a radical theory that suggests if there are really 3 time dimensions then the universe may not be expanding. I am listing this this because it presents a well thought out but radically different view of the universe

Mathematical physics Although this is listed as a physics class this is mostly a math course. This course uses sequences and series to solve very hard problems. This is continues where the sequence and series chapter of calc BC leaves off. If you like sequences and series this is great stuff. After Calc BC (chapter 9) watch videos 1,2,4 (skip video 3 – this video will be difficult to understand until after Linear Algebra with Differential Equations).
