From just glancing at a few articles, this site is a treasure trove of references to highly readable explanations on a variety of fairly advanced topics. In fact, just the links to Wilczek's grand unification overview [1], and Klauber's Student Friendly QFT book [2,3] made this site worth visiting for me.

Resources that explain physics in (relatively) simple language without requiring books worth of prior knowledge seem to always be targeted at school-level physics; this one is different.

Of course, this is no substitute for a university curriculum, but as a way to plug holes in one's understanding, the site seems genuinely high quality.

I haven't read it in full but Klauber's book is supposedly loaded with errors and also (in my view) needs re-typesetting (it's written in word)
