First of all, I've looked through the sticky guide but didn't

You can't swim yet you're asking to dive in the deep end

>Is there any recommended book or resource that explains these concepts without relying too much on higher level mathematics (if such a thing is even possible) while at the same time not going full on retard popsci?
Dis nigga

Yeah I was worried that that would be the case

Any resources that introduce higher-level mathematics alongside physics as they are needed and appear?

I'm not looking to draw my own conclusions or anything like that, I just want to broaden my horizon on the current standard model and understand a simplified version of it

Penrose's Road to Reality.

>introduces needed mathematics before going into physics

Thanks anon, that's pretty much what I was looking for

>>7706131
Beware it is a long book and covers a ton of material. I am pretty sure it starts off with something like the Pythagorean theorem and by the end of the book it is talking about shit like Sheaf Cohomology.

>However, as a CS grad, my math skills are shit tier
So you either went to a shit school, or avoided math yourself.

>>7706155
Shit-tier relative to an actual mathematician or (I assume?) physicist

>>7706148
That's pretty much what I was looking for, something that takes me from the basics to modern physics

>>7706158
Well you obviously won't know specific processes or formulae, but you should have good mathematics fundamentals.

>>7706172
Only knowing fundamentals is shit-tier in my book

Go into fundamental physics first. You are trying to escalate a mountain without a rope

>>7706176
Worded my OP poorly, not looking for something that explains the tip of the iceberg while ignoring all the rest, primary concern I had were even basics requiring abstract math concepts I don't know

>>7706122 seems to be the perfect solution

That book is a unicorn.
Fundamentals of Physicsby David Halliday, Robert Resnick and Jearl Walker <<< this is the one that got me interested and fascinated.

i always think i'm smart and then i try feynman and i cry

>>7706450
Surely you read the complete Feynman lectures instead?

>>7706087
The Feynmann Lectures will get you a good bit of the way into QM.

Popsci fag here. Is it true that anti-matter is just regular matter traveling back in time?

>>7706943
p. much

>>7706117
Are you trying to actually rigorously learn this shit on your own? I guess pick up a copy of Griffiths QM and get working.

This is the problem with pop-physics. No one wants to know the everyday stuff (which is just as fascinating and crazy sometimes as QM)
