Ask HN: Free online physics courses/lectures for non-physicists?

I don't know why but all of a sudden I am fascinated by the physics of everything again.

Studying this field inspires me creatively at all levels, hopefully something I make will positiviely impact life on Earth.

I'd suggest Goodstein's acclaimed video course "The Mechanical Universe", which covers introductory level of physics for undergraduate students. Caltech provides the videos for free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8_xPU5epJddRABXqJ5h5...

Be aware that this course assumes knowledge of basic calculus, as any realistic course would.
