Learn Through Videos: Physics

This is a collection of links to videos related to physics and physicists, which are made for a general audience, such as documentary films. Physics is to understand how the universe behaves from the smallest things in the world to the Universe itself. The videos listed in this collection demystify physics concepts that describe the behavior of things in an easy-to-understand way. They explain what is happening in physics and tell interesting stories about the life and works of such important figures as Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Max Planck, and Richard Feynman.
