What are some popular online resources for self-studying physics?

Hi there,

My name is Steve, I'm a retired IT guy from Canberra, Australia. I've been studying physics since retiring as much as I can. I've done the brilliant AstroX series Astrophysics on edX, a course on Special Relativity on Coursera and various other courses. But mostly I do self-paced study using a bunch of textbooks I bought second hand.

While I'm not studying physics I'm doing things with my dog, Freya. She's a lovely 2 yo Shetland Sheepdog. I've never had a dog before so it's a new experience for both of us. But we are doing very well. We have finished companion obedience classes, and now we are starting Agility and Rally Obedience. I think the social contact and physical exercise is good for her, and me.

I look forward to discussing physics for you all.

Steve

Welcome to the forum.

Yeah, dogs are great. Post a pic of her in the "animal lover's thread" https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/for-animal-lovers.583729/

I was in the process of replying to your thread on the one-way speed of light when it disappeared. I was suggesting a forum search for that topic for more discussion.

One of the sysadmins moved it here.

Ah ha. Sometimes they leave a re-direct but since the post had no replies when he moved it, I guess he didn't feel that a redirect was needed. As you can see, he also pointed out that it has been discussed here many times.

They are not sysadmins here (there ARE one or two of those, but except for the owner, Greg, they don't participate in discussions). Here it is the "moderators" who run the forum except for technical fixes.

Peter Donis, who moved your thread, is one of the very best. You can learn a lot by reading his posts. BUT ... be warned, he does get down in the weeds w/ math and advanced concepts.

Thanks, I'm okay with getting into the weeds, provided they don't get too thick.
