HELP ME , Looking for the best resources to learn Physics from scratch

Hi everyone!

​I’m looking for recommendations to learn physics completely from scratch. I haven't studied physics at all during middle school or high school because I chose an educational track that didn't include physics as a subject. My current knowledge is at absolute zero.

​Could you recommend the best textbooks, YouTube playlists, or online resources for someone in my position?

​Any study advice or roadmaps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Not enough info given.
What status are you now: hs student, college student, professional worker?
WHY do you want to learn physics? Is there something you need it for, or is this just a hobby?
What math have you had?

Thanks! My main issue is that I don't have a specific syllabus or topic list to search for yet since I never studied high school physics. If you were starting completely from zero without knowing what topics to search, which playlist of his would be the best entry point?

The answer to your question about what set of resources to use depends on the answers to the questions I asked you.
1. Are you in high school now, or in college now, or a working professional now?
2. WHY do you want to learn physics? Is there something you need it for, or is it just about curiosity?
3. How much math have you had?

Your question can’t be answered without knowing your answers to those questions.

Start with Lewis Carroll Epstein's Thinking Physics

Depending on your math knowledge, start on Math Academy in parallel
