i go to school, and it's quite far away (3 hours per day, return), so, i'd like to use this time wisely and learn QM,
but unfortunately, i can't read books on transportation, i get dizzy... when i read things for prolong period of time..

i've only learned about the special relativity, and am currently going through some youtube videos that i download on my phone to watch, because there is both audio and visuals in videos, so i can glance at it once in a while...
i have a maths a level

but are there any better sources to study? i'd like to be able to understand what most threads on the physics forum are talking about...

Hi I am going to school too I am 17 years old.I should recommend you Leonard Susskind lectures on stanford.And you can read his book the theoretical minimum
 
Maybe there's some audio stuff out there.

What I always do is just think and review concepts over and over in my mind mentally (I also get get dizzy when I read on transportation), but that tends to require putting in some time beforehand, so that you have something to think about.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
