Experts from these three walks of life share their ideas every year during the TED talks. Now we can see them on youtube.

These are truly remarkable people most of whom have not only poineered new techniques but are also so eloquent that they can convey the crux of their ideas in about 20 minutes. Each person gives a talk on new ideas from their field like physics or philosophy and using their own methods makes sure that everyone gains something from the lecture.

And the themes are very diverse. Today I watched videos on string theory, the power of memes, insight into the workings of the brain and the problem with too much choice. They were all engaging and informative. I feel wiser and entertained at the same time. Perfect.
