As a rule of thumb, if you don't understand something 'science-y', check Youtube. There are a ton of fantastic science-focused channels, with all sorts of approaches to educating - you're bound to find something suitable.

Just to name a few I'm fond of: Vsauce, Veritasium, Smarter Every day, Minute Earth/Physics, Kurzgesagt, Sci Show.

If you like learning new things, make some room in your existing media consumption time for it. You'll be much better off.
