A Better Tier List of Physics Learning Channels

**My original post collected insane attention, which I originally didn't except at all, so I decided to make a better version which includes more channels.** And yes, if you are wondering, the level of "science" is proportional to the shown and explained math.

Let's first go through classification:

"Popular science" - no math, huge simplifications aiming at a very broad audience and basic understanding.

"Semi-popular" - shows math, doesn't explain it, provides kinda deeper understanding on the topic, like PBS.

"Deeper knowledge" - Provides you with some math, the goal is less to tell you the information, and more about you actually learning it. It's a "science, but not quite" level.

"Mostly scientific" - Good level of math, good deep level of understanding. But, it still aims at simplifying the material, so it can be understood by the slowest students or people with not enough knowledge for the topic (but not 0). Basically, if you know what a derivative and an integral is, you can already watch some of their videos in physics. 3B1B belongs here.

"Fully Scientific" - Only for people who either already know the topic and want to refresh it, or for those who already have a relevant basis for learning it.
