Going back to “school” for physics. Now I need the best resources (online or physical books). HMU if you have suggestions.

There you have from MIT all materials, videos of the courses (not all have videos).
You have to search which you need.

savage. MIT OCW is amazing, as suggested. what are you trying to learn? theoretical (string theory etc), applied? or like quantumy stuff?
Was thinking of starting with classical mechanics, vibrations and waves, particles, then diving into more theoretical classes like quantum stuff.
this is the book they use at UVa, though i never took a course haha. sounds like you have the right progression though

(physics is a scam tho)
Why a scam?
lots of plot holes that don’t seem like they can be patched together (relativity -> classical mechanics -> quantum mechanics). doesnt mean its not valuable to learn tho

"Physics is to be regarded not so much as the study of something a priori given, but rather as the development of methods of ordering and surveying human experience." Niels Bohr #Quotes
"How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress." Niels Bohr #Quotes

Paradox is the root of discovery, as it demonstrates a unity underlying things that are seemingly contradictory, thereby revealing a fundamental misconception in our ordering and surveying of experience. Unify the paradox.

Sadly not much has advanced since Feynman published these amazing books. Still one of the best explanations around
