Perhaps I don't know enough physics, but I find Nima's lectures a lot more comprehensible than those of most physicists. I'm not aware of any of this generation of physicists who have Feynmann's gift of both accuracy & clarity of exposition.
I'd nominate John Baez.
That having been said, I haven't yet had a chance to look at this particular video of Nima's, but I'm looking forward to it.

somebody on the net was complaining that math is hard because you need to prove theorems, physics is hard because your theories have to work, but Nima Arkani-Hamed does neither theorems nor physics that works, so his life is easy. (He got a $3M prize for an example.)
