No. I am wondering if Shambles or anyone is self taught on physics as I am attempting to do so now and could use some pointers.
I assume you mean quantum or particle physics. I suppose it depends what you're doing it for and to what level - if you actually want to 'do' physics this usually involves some quite tasty maths, whereas if you just want to 'understand' it for yourself you can do it without much maths, just thinking. I'm in the latter camp mostly - i've learned most of what i know from pop-physics books and youtubes like shambles - reading slightly variable explanations of the same stuff over time eventually some of it sticks in some way (though don't ask me to calculate anything).
If you're anything like me (lazy druggie), i'd recommend some of the classic hippy-physics books if you haven't already: Dancing Wu Li Masters i read recently and is good as a grounding in the ideas behind basic quantum physics with a cute/hippy format (a bit outdated but still relevant); Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra is also good (though maybe didn't date as well - his later book Web of Life is excellent but spreads out into biology/complex systems/chaos theory).
For slightly less cosmic (i like cosmic), i found some of John Gribbin's pop-science books good (eg in search of schrodinger's cat - some good books about astrophysics too). I'm sure there's many other books since i was reading this stuff too (and that i've forgotten) - If you're not actively learning the maths it's about narrative skill as much as anything, so pick stuff you're going to enjoy reading/watching. Jim Al-Khalili's recent Quantum Physics series on BBC4 is also worth watching if you didn't.
For a harder grind: Roger Penrose's Emperor's New Mind is a bit more chunky and does go into some maths (though you can skip it); covers quantum physics and tries to link it to consciousness (covering Godel's incompleteness theorem on the way); David Desutsch's Fabric of Reality is good and covers it from the Many Worlds angle.
If i'm patronising you with this 'pop-science' let me know and i'll dregde up some of the 'proper' physics textbooks i threw against my brain when i was younger (and had dexies), though i learned more from the pop physics tbh.

BHM: Quantum physics is science fiction? Maybe in some arcance epistemiological sense, but otherwise, are you saying that particles follow simple newtonian physics and noone's noticed? A quantum physicist will be the first to admit that there may be better explanations for the data, but until someone comes up with one it's still the best we've got.
