• This forum is specifically for the discussion of factual science and technology. When the topic moves to speculation, then it needs to also move to the parent forum, Science Fiction and Fantasy (SF/F).

    If the topic of a discussion becomes political, even remotely so, then it immediately does no longer belong here. Failure to comply with these simple and reasonable guidelines will result in one of the following.
    1. the thread will be moved to the appropriate forum
    2. the thread will be closed to further posts.
    3. the thread will remain, but the posts that deviate from the topic will be relocated or deleted.
    Thank you for understanding.​

UC Berkeley has a webcast of an entire semester of a course called "physics for future presidents". It covers a lot of topics and doesn't get into the details too much. Its actually a good example of not infodumping the viewer and instead focusing on how the technology affects politics. Example, he goes into how a nuclear bomb works a bit, but then focuses on how that affects international politics. Good stuff.
