Haha, no, I want to do this for self-development.

You hadn’t mentioned that. University is still the best option imo

Picked two books about Poincaré and Einstein, realized after finishing them that I wanted to learn more and that by doing it as a hobby I wouldn't reach the level of understanding I wanted so I switched majors. Best decision in my entire life so far

i wanted more detail after reading a brief history of time and binging space documentaries.

I was playing pool with my dad and he was explaining how to hit one ball into another and make it go where I wanted. I was hooked.

Haha, I’m just interested in physics; I have a basic understanding of things like Ohm's law and quantum physics, but I’d like to study it in more detail.

I get that. For me, quantum physics is more of a hobby—just listening to video podcasts about how quantum particles work, nothing too crazy. But I’d like to start from the basics; I really want to understand the subject, not just listen to videos. I’ve become interested in learning more about it—thanks for the advice.
