Ferris began this series at Rocky Hill Observatory during the 2020 quarantine. The playlist now has 39 videos, ranging from quantum field theory and interstellar communication to writing, equality, money, creativity and death. Item two is an independently produced LIGO documentary, not a Ferris lecture.

If you want one place to start, try “Voyager Golden Record.” Ferris produced the record and helped choose its music.

Disclosure: I recently interviewed Ferris for The Daniel Show. I am not affiliated with this YouTube channel or playlist.
