Video!
As supplementary material for the below post, I really think you'd find it useful and important (with n hours of your copious spare time) to check out Annenberg/CPB and their tons of scientific videos. They're tremendous for learning the fundamentals of the various scientific disciplines.
The below post connects very well with Video 5 ("The Birth Of A Theory") of the Earth Revealed series of videos. Our geology professor at MGC, Tina Mahaffee, loved those things, and the more I watch the more I see why.
I myself (not surprisingly, given my vocation) am a devotee of The Mechanical Universe series, in which you get to see all kinds of mathematical equations jumping around.
(You do have to register to watch, but they do an absolute minimum of nag. If such things bother you, I might create a username/password combo for our purposes.)
