I'm not sure if I have the vocation to take up a course in physics at an university, so it would be better if I studied it in my own dilletante way. Do you guys have any good recommendations? The only books I ever read about physics, I think, are Krauss' A Universe from Nothing and Hawking's A Brief History of Time. I also watched a couple of documentary-Tv-Series, like Cosmos(the new version), a bit of the series behind that little youtube video presented earlier in the thread(certainly that, since I remember it so vividly), Through the Wormhole...
If you want to start getting into "real" physics textbooks, how about the Feynman lectures?
