Great Ideas of Classical Physics

This series of 24 lectures by Professor Steven Pollock introduces the fundamental ideas of classical physics, demonstrating how its key concepts—such as Newton's laws—are connected to everyday experiences and natural phenomena. Designed to be accessible and largely without math, the lectures use metaphors, common sense, and life examples to explore the hidden order of the universe created by brilliant thinkers over centuries. It aims to reveal that much of what we understand intuitively about motion, gravity, light, and electricity is rooted in the elegant principles of classical physics.
