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: link to 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. link to this video

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