I guess poster like Photon and such would have good places for me to go and check out.

Hah nope, or at least nothing really easy to point to. Basically that's the thing, beyond a popular level the only way to really understand it is to
understand it which means math.
It's always been on my list to go audit some courses at University, or there's online ones I've seen from time to time.
There's some books that kind of bridge the gap, or at least make the math as easy as possible. Why Does E=mc2? by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw is one that I got recently that I've been planning to read that I've seen recommended.
So good books that try and bridge that gap, and the other resources I use are blogs of scientists that also try and stand in that gap, and science forums where scientists sometimes hang out along with us non-scientists, that can be really awesome because I find that a few direct questions can often do the same as hours of reading for me.
But yeah it can be hard to find things in that in between.
