• Here's a video that made me feel like I almost half-way understood one of the main underlying principles (AdS/CFT correspondence) [VIDEO] re: "Following the discovery of this duality by Juan Maldacena" Semi-unrelated: If you like articles like this, I bet you'll love that whole channel.

• PBS Space Time have done a number of episodes on the holographic principle[1] I strongly recommend anyone interested in physics check out the channel [1] [VIDEO]

• There's a lot here but this specifically talks about AdS/CFT which seems to be a pretty core concept [VIDEO] Just linked this on a similar information theory thread [1] (glad it's so popular on HN right now!) 1: [LINK]
