imho, I would start with general relativity. Most of the other stuff follows from it and you can pick up the other stuff as you go once you understand tensors and functional differential equations.
Tensors and functional differential equations are still profound even though you might know vector calculus.
I got a graduate degree in theoretical physics, focusing on condensed matter physics. To be exact, I model the phenomenon called quantum solid, using Ginzburg-Landau theory.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
freeman dyson doesn't have a phd.
Are you sure? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_Dyson By the way, do you know that there is a series in scattering theory in quantum mechanics called Dyson series? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_series To be frank, I doubt if you know this.
yes

indeed i do; i studied it in perturbation theory in undergrad.
>To be frank, I doubt if you know this.
this isn't grammatically correct. "i doubt you know this/that".
