What are some tips for self-teaching physics without formal education?

In summary, self-teaching physics without formal education requires a strong foundation in mathematics, a deep understanding of the scientific method, and the willingness to seek out resources and practice regularly. It is important to start with the fundamentals and build upon them, utilize online resources and textbooks, and actively engage in problem-solving to solidify understanding. Additionally, seeking out a community or mentor for support and guidance can greatly enhance the learning experience. With dedication and perseverance, self-teaching physics can be a rewarding and fulfilling journey.
