An edX course introducing quantum mechanics for a general audience, with a focus on the physical experiments behind the theory. Commenters note it is not dumbed down despite the title.
Commenters describe it as free and not dumbed down, offering a deeper resource than popular science articles, with real attention to the experiments behind the physics.

I think the general public is more impacted by the problem. Especially with the "heresy" part, especially in public forums with lots of mildly interested but not-too-deep-into-it laypeople, like reddit, for example, outside maybe of heavily moderated places like /r/science or /r/AskHistorians.
There its more about reputation of a source than the actual facts, because few have the ability to evaluate the latter. Actually, if they spent even a little bit of time and thought they might actually be able to, it's just that almost nobody does. When the interest in "science" is to read publications for the general public, but never touch any of the by now quite numerous deeper equally easily available resources e.g. in the form of courses. For example, sooo many people interested in quantum physics articles - how many bother, even after years, to just go e.g. to edx (https://www.edx.org/learn/quantum-physics-mechanics -- or, archived, https://www.edx.org/course/quantum-mechanics-for-everyone specifically) and just take a course?
Try the free and new course "Quantum Mechanics for Everyone" that despite the title is certainly not dumbed down at all, on edX.
