Topics in String Theory Susskind Lectures (Size: 3.85 GB)
Description
Great series to dive deeper into String Theory. An easy to understand lectures which conceptually connect the math and ideas behind one of the most difficult topics in physics.
This course was originally presented in Stanford's Continuing Studies program. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University. All 10 lectures are included, I'll include a description below of each one, enjoy! Lecture 1: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture at on the string theory and particle physics. In this lecture, he begins by describing the theory of reductionism and then goes on to tell why string theory and other modern theories spell the end of reductionism. Lecture 2: Leonard Susskind describes the special theory of relativity and focuses on showing how it connects to string theory. He considers concepts such as space-time and some of Einstein's original concepts. Lecture 3: Leonard Susskind uses the most complex math that will be used in the course with the hopes that it will give a better idea of how a black whole works mathematically. Lecture 4: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses on the geometry of a black hole near the horizon. He describes how standard concepts from quantum physics can explain the physics that occur at this point. Lecture 5: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses again on black holes and how light behaves around a black hole. He uses his own theories to mathematically explain the behavior of a black hole and the area around it. Lecture 6: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses on how string theory gives a resolution to the question regarding the entropy in a black hole. Lecture 7: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that continues the theory behind calculating the entropy of a black hole. Lecture 8: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that dives into the idea of cosmic horizons as well as the relationship between ultraviolet and infrared light. Lecture 9: Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on string theory and particle physics that focuses on the mechanisms that make the universe hot. Lecture 10: Professor Leonard Susskind continues his discussion on T-Duality; explains the theory of D-Branes; models QFT and QCD; and introduces the application of electromagnetism.
