Re: Understanding
It isn't far off in a "how much stuff you have to learn" sense.
Just in a "think about it on your own" manner.
Just think about, come on here and talk about, start reading some blogs by professional physicists, e.t.c.
In a sense, once you have the basics down your knowledge will just keep growing and as new stuff is added it refreshes your perspective allowing you to understand stuff you couldn't originally.
Eventually you'll be the one explaining things, which will also further your understanding.
It's a fantastic path to take and if there is somebody you need to clarify questions with come here with any questions at all.

Re: Understanding
Cool, man. Keep at it and remember any question come here.

My background - BS in computer engineering. So I have a very good understanding of calculus (at least intro to intermediate).. Took lots of classes that involved Laplace and fourier transforms (although that seems hazy now), lots of electric field and semiconductor theory. Any recommendations for books for someone with my background?
What particular area of physics would you like to learn?

Again, Schutz "A first course in General Relativity" and D'Inverno "Introducing Einstein's Relativity" would be the best.

Re: exactly
Well I'd say a moderately significant amount.
What kind of evidence do you want simple?

Re: for cosmo
So, you are claiming here that there is no gravity that we can detect at the quantum level?
Nobody has every tried because our equipment isn't sensitive enough.
Nobody has ever looked for gravitons.

Re: for cosmo
There is gravity until at least six micrometers (0.000006 meters), but at the actual quantum mechanical level we can't be certain if there is.

Re: 6 Microns?
No webpage found at provided URL: http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-ph/0508204
It puts a constraint on modifications to Newtonian Gravity beneath that scale.
