Talk:The Theoretical Minimum

Notability[edit]

Why is this book notable? No reviews or other independent reliable sources are listed for it. Deltahedron (talk) 06:40, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added one review, but they seem a bit hard to find. Susskind would rather be interviewed than reviewed, it seems. -- Mikeblas (talk) 18:05, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Second lead added[edit]

Well, any notability problems have been put to rest by the test of time.

For future reference, I wanted to copy the TOC out of the following YouTube list:

Leonard Susskind - All Stanford physics lectures in order — last updated 1 July 2014

Contents:

  1-  9: Classical Mechanics 
 10- 19: Quantum Mechanics 
 20- 28: Quantum Entanglements part 1 
 29- 36: Quantum Entanglements part 2-3 
 37- 46: Special Relativity 
 47- 58: General Relativity 
 59- 66: Cosmology 
 67- 76: Statistical Mechanics 
 77- 86: New Revolutions In Particle Physics: Basic Concepts 
 87- 96: New Revolutions In Particle Physics: Standard Model 
 97-106: String Theory And M Theory 
107-115: Topics in String Theory 
116-125: The Theoretical Minimum 
126-135: Advanced Quantum Mechanics 
136:     Demystifying The Higgs Boson With Leonard Susskind

Presently this list alone is showing 950,000 total views. Plus these lectures are also available from other sources, and as one-offs.

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity | Lecture 1 alone (which is the first one I found for myself) is alone showing 2,600,145 views.

Now, it's well known that YouTube doth like to exaggerate page counts (along with everyone else), but this is off the charts by any reasonable standard of notice in this abstruse corner of life. — MaxEnt 00:04, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
