I recently saw this lecture by Neil Turok on youtube and was amazed by the elegance with which it was presented. I believe that every student of science and in particular physics should listen to it. Professor Turok starts with some simple math and basic questions, like the length scales in the Universe. He also present a simple introduction to quantum mechanics and then moves on to the idea of the multiverse and cyclic universe. Give it a listen!
Following are some of his quotes I liked:
"Its (nature) so simple, we don't know how nature got away with it"
"If you are a theorist you should be happy when you are wrong. It means your idea was testable. It was worth talking about"
