Physics

I want to teach myself physics, so where does one start? I'm a math major, and I have taken a course on mechanics, and will do one on (special) relativity soon. What else is there in a physics degree that I need to cover?

Textbook recommendations would be helpful.

Don't buy the shit from physics. Quantum theory made few basic assumptions like energy/matter is quantized, dual natured and you can express a wave mathematically as a sine function and derived the orbitals from that. Which directed us to energy levels and bonds between atoms, then bosons and everything. Quantum theory gave rise to the modern understanding in particle level physics but the assumptions are not necessarily true. It is consistent because of mathematics, nothing more...If you are persistent about learning it at least use a skeptical approach
