I've completely exhausted TED.com and quite a bit on Youtube, so share your favorite (or just any good) physics videos.

I'd contribute and post "favorites", but there's about 100 links I could post. I usually Youtube black holes, string theory, brian greene, sagan, einstein. Plus watching all the physics videos on TED.

This is the one I watched most recently (it's Part 2 but you don't really have to watch Part 1):

Sean Carroll on the arrow of time (Part 2) | Video on TED.com
 


Watch all 18 videos:

I must be one of the few that can't stand Brian Greene or Carl Sagan. Greene is borderline pseudo-science, and Sagan was just an asshole (confirmed by colleagues of his whom I've spoken with)
 
The Feynmann Lectures on Physics are essential viewing if you have any kind of interest in physics.

I'll try and find some links.

EDIT: ^ Mentioned already, sorry.
 
This was awesome... Quite long though (split into 9 parts)...

Some videos are streamed, other ones are slides or downloads.

The last I have watched is about Transformation Design and Metamaterials to realize invisibility and other effects:

There's a special rung in hell reserved for people who waste good scotch. And seeing as I might be rapping on the door momentarily...I must say, damned good stuff, sir.
