Racket is an implementation of Scheme, a Lisp derivative. Well, not just an implementation, and not quite an implementation. It differs in a number of ways, notably in preferring immutable data structures (but nor requiring them), in its extensive set of libraries, some of which actually implement new interoperable languages.

Why We Might Use Different Numbers in the Future A description of number notations used in the past. This includes mentions of other number bases than 10. It seems 10, 12, 20, and 60 have all been used historically. Technologically, we've also used 2, 8, and 16. The symbols the video used for 10 and 11 in duodecimal are not the ones historically promoted, which were a backwards 3 for 11, called elf, and an old-Emgnlsh thorn for ten. (I'm not sure I remember, but they may have called it 'dec').

Mathematical Problems of Non-perturbative Quantum General Relativity -- Abhay Ashtekar Ashtekar explains the state of quantum gravity research at about 1993. An interesting and seemingly comprehensible exposition, though so far I've read it only to page 13, and I can't say I understand all the jargon. Hoping to figure it out as I go on.
Dirac's Belt Trick: Why a 2π rotation twists space but a 4π rotation fixes it
Dirac's belt trick, Topology, and Spin ½ particles An excellent and very clear exposition of the mathematics of electron spin. Much of it is done via animated pictures that get to the heart of the matter. Heavy mathematics clearly pictured. There's a lot of reconceptualization going on, though, and it may take multiple viewings to put it all together.

For instance, I tried searching for "Why is the Higgs mechanism needed?" and I only found news articles that basically said "because it gives particles mass!"
Instead of Google searches it's probably better to get a stock of QFT books like Itzykson and Zuber, Weinberg, and so on. Even if you can't understand all the details, there are some very nice paragraphs here and there.
Easier books, which I find to be full of wisdom, are these:
Kerson Huang, Quarks, Leptons & Gauge Fields, World Scientific, Singapore, 1982.
L. B. Okun, Leptons and Quarks, translated from Russian by V. I. Kisin, North-Holland, 1982. (Huang's book is better on mathematical aspects of gauge theory and topology; Okun's book is better on what we actually observe particles to do.)
