In the last few months I've kind of been wasting my intelligence and I need ideas for things to look at.I want something that i can think about quite deeply and as for the intelligence level, I've looked up string theory after overhearing a conversation and I'm just starting to get, so something about there or slightly easier.Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Read Isaac Asimov's stories. They are simple but have a great depth if you read them carefully, and will have you pondering for many hours. Here's a link for my favorite one:

I support this. It's like some crazy puzzle, with numbers. Woohoo part-writing.

I don't understand it, so I'm starting at quantum theory and going from there. There is an entire UC Berkeley Physics course (24 lectures) available on Youtube. I skip around, but that would be a good resource for some basic understanding of Physics. Read some Stephen Hawking, too.
