Note: The audio during "Standard Models of Particle Physics" is of lesser quality than the other lectures due to the source material. So it goes.
--------Frames of Reference (1960)Trev M2016-06-06 | Patterson Hume & Donald Ivey University of Toronto, 1960
--------
Discusses the concepts in reference frames: inertial and non-inertial.
--------Time Dilation An experiment with μ-mesons (1962)Trev M2016-02-06 | When discussing special relativity, the time dilation of mu-mesons is one of the most cited examples of experimental evidence in support of Einstein's theory. In this short documentary experimental physicists David Frisch and James Smith take the viewer through the basic theory and experiment involved in testing and confirming the extended lifespan of mu-mesons.
----Research Skills and Theoretical Physics Nima Arkani-HamedTrev M2016-01-31 | Nima Arkani-Hamed, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
--------
In this lecture series theoretical physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed discusses a varied range of topics including graduate school considerations, length scales, radical conservatism vs. conservative radicalism, natural (planck) units, order of magnitude calculations from physical constants as well as relativistic, quantum mechanical and cosmological phenomena.
--------
This video is an amalgamation of four lectures. It contains the first two lectures from a series entitled "Research Skills" and the first two lectures from a series entitled "Theoretical Physics" given at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Research Skills 1a 0:00:00 Research Skills 1b 1:15:21 August 24th, 2009
Note: The audio and chalkboard visuals from Research Skills 1a are not in sync due to the source material. However, the audio is (roughly) in sync with the visuals of the speaker. This lecture works very well as purely audio and in my opinion does not greatly suffer from this lack of synchronicity.
Also note: There is some overlap of material in "Research Skills 1a" and "Theoretical Physics 1a". However, I consider each lecture distinct enough to justify including both.
Final note: These are not the complete lecture series. Find the remainder of "Research Skills" and "Theoretical Physics" at the URL below.

--The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Quantum Physics in Modern Mathematics Robbert DijkgraafTrev M2015-03-30 | Robbert Dijkgraaf, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics March 5th, 2014
---- Mathematics has proven to be "unreasonably effective" in understanding nature. The fundamental laws of physics can be captured in beautiful formulae. In this lecture I want to argue for the reverse effect: Nature is an important source of inspiration for mathematics, even of the purest kind. In recent years ideas from quantum field theory, elementary particles physics and string theory have completely transformed mathematics, leading to solutions of deep problems, suggesting new invariants in geometry and topology, and, perhaps most importantly, putting modern mathematical ideas in a `natural’ context. ----
