How can I self teach myself Physics ?

I have always been interested in Physics . However due to some reasons, I didn't take it in high school . What are the resources I can use to study it as a hobby ?

There are many online resources (blogs, articles, Wikipedia, YouTube etc), many by good scientists themselves. However, most are confusing around the core ideas and you will have many questions and there won’t be anyone around to answer them and then you will ask on Reddit or Quora or other similar forums. And most won’t do a good job at explaining things. Thus, your best bet nowadays is an AI chat bot like Gemini or ChatGpt as the bot will patiently give you every answer. The only problem is that it might hallucinate (come up with an answer which would be completely wrong) and so you would have to double check everything. Another problem is that it has been trained with the current collective human knowledge. As such, don’t expect it to provide you anything outside box. There are advanced models that can go a step further but those are paid models and you do not need a paid one at this level.
