One of the most amazing facts in physics is that everything in the universe, from light to electrons to atoms, behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time. But how did physicists arrive at this mind-boggling conclusion? Chad Orzel recounts the string of scientists who built on each other’s discoveries to arrive at this ‘central mystery’ of quantum mechanics.

Fundamentals of Physics
Why you should learn Physics ?
Physics teaches you to think,challenges your imagination with concepts,explains the world and teaches you to how to get out of a black hole(it’s a joke).
As Stephen D. Senturia said
“Engineering is the purposeful use of scientific knowledge”
So if you want to be Engineer,you should have good understanding of Physics.Check the below two youtube play-list to build up your knowledge in physics taught by Dr.Ramamurti Shankar ,Yale University.
Fundamentals of Physics with Ramamurti Shankar
This course provides a thorough introduction to the principles and methods of physics for students who have good preparation in physics and mathematics. Emphasis is placed on problem solving and quantitative reasoning. This course covers Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics, and waves.
Fundamentals of Physics, II (PHYS 201) Yale courses
This is a continuation of the introductory course on the principles and methods of physics for students who have good preparation in physics and mathematics. This course covers electricity, magnetism, optics and quantum mechanics.
