Videos Mentioning Newton's Laws
The Silent Cost of Bad Habits - James Clear
The Knowledge Project Podcast
Laws of motion from physics, used by James Clear as a metaphor in an article about productivity, titled 'The physics of productivity'.
John Preskill on Quantum Computing
Y Combinator
Mentioned as an example of physics concepts that, while seemingly intuitive now, weren't always straightforward (referencing Aristotle's incorrect views) and required observation and reasoning.
Simulating and understanding phase change | Guest video by Vilas Winstein
3Blue1Brown
The classical physics laws governing the motion of particles, forming the basis of deterministic simulations that the Boltzmann law approximates probabilistically.
Science & Survival: A Conversation with Martin Rees (Episode #323)
Sam Harris
Cited as an example of scientific principles that are almost incontestable and good enough for practical applications like programming spacecraft.
Max Tegmark: AI and Physics | Lex Fridman Podcast #155
Lex Fridman
Newton solved the classical two-body problem for gravity, contrasted with the complexity of black hole interactions in general relativity.
235‒Training principles for mass & strength, changing views on nutrition, & creatine supplementation
Peter Attia MD
Referenced in the context of lifting, specifically the 'Force = mass x acceleration' principle, highlighting how manipulating mass and acceleration optimize force exertion.
Demis Hassabis: DeepMind - AI, Superintelligence & the Future of Humanity | Lex Fridman Podcast #299
Lex Fridman
Elegant physical laws contrasted with the complexity of biology, suggesting AI is better suited to describe the latter.
Dark matter: the next frontier – Public lecture by Dr. David E. Kaplan
Fermilab
The fundamental laws of motion and gravity, used as a baseline for understanding planetary orbits and later challenged by Mercury's orbit anomaly.
Does Superdeterminism save Quantum Mechanics? Or does it kill free will and destroy science?
Sabine Hossenfelder
A foundational concept in classical mechanics used to illustrate determinism, where knowing initial conditions allows for prediction of future states.
Lisa Randall Interview (Full Episode) | The Tim Ferriss Show (Podcast)
Tim Ferriss
Fundamental laws of classical mechanics discussed as an example of an 'effective theory' that works well within a specific regime but is superseded by quantum mechanics and relativity at other scales.
Safi Bahcall: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas that Transform Industries | SXSW 2019
SXSW
Basic laws of physics, including action and reaction, which the New York Times incorrectly claimed prevented rockets from flying in space.
Stanford Robotics Seminar ENGR319 | Spring 2026 | Mechanical Intelligence in Locomotion
Stanford Online
Laws of motion highlighted for emphasizing the importance of inertia in locomotion.
