I have a goal to educate myself up to the current level of knowledge we possess about the universe.
I've tried textbooks, wikipedia, lectures, but i find each of them fundamentally flawed in different ways.
Textbooks tend to be incredibly bloated, and I become unable to "see the forest for the trees" Wikipedia seems to be too technical/mathematically rigorous for my level of understanding Lectures feel very time consuming and i dont really feel as though i get a structured sense of how everything fits together.
I feel as though all mathematical and physical concepts can be explained in simple terms, yet i cant find resources which present concepts like this.
I don't want explanations that are completely dumbed down or necessarily lacking in math, but i would prefer explanations which give math intuition and take time to explain what the variables and symbols mean in laymen's terms.
If anyone knows any resources similar to what i described, or has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I should also mention that i had been referred to Hooft's outline of learning, as seen here: http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/theorist.html#ssphysics Which i find to be a trememndous help, but I'm still struggling as to the ideal places to find clear resources in regards to these subjects.
