Leonard Susskind opens Stanford Continuing Studies' Theoretical Minimum series with an introduction to quantum mechanics, a course for people who want real physics rather than popularization. It assumes some calculus and linear algebra.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN recommends the series as an entertaining, serious route into physics for self-learners comfortable with basic math.
Entertaining Susskind lectures giving an overview of physics

For physics, I believe you fall in Leonard Susskind's target audience. You can get his book, or even better, watch his large amount of lectures: this video Susskind is an eminence - he was Feynman's buddy back in the day. And he's entertaining as hell. Here's also Gerard 't Hooft's (Nobel laureate) list of concepts and books to master. If you finish that -in several years- you will be a qualified theoretical physicist. Whereas Susskind will give you more of an overview. link

Do you have a few hundred spare hours? Leonard Susskind did an extensive series of lectures, that assumes some familiarity with Calculus and linear algebra, but almost nothing else. this video

Search youtube for the theoretical minimum this video its a whole playlist for quantum mechanics, Wilberger also has videos on hyperbolic geometry and relativity
