I wrote an 8-page (half pictures) document that goes through some of the ideas in general relativity in an intuitive geometric way. It doesn't use any math and I wrote it primarily for my non mathematician friends and family but I think it would make good reading for anyone interested in the subject. Here is the link: Some ideas in General Relativity

A former lecturer of mine, Mike Alder, has written an article about Quantum Mechanics. Again it is done in an intuitive way and requires absolutely no knowledge of math or physics. Here is the link: Help wanted - Philosopher required to sort out reality. Apply to any school of Physics

I did a project with Asif Zaman on hyperbolic geometry, there is a lot of complex analysis so much of it may be incomprehensible to people who have not seen this before. The section on curvature, however, is quite readable and builds on the stuff discussed in the first link. Here is the link: Hyperbolic Geometry
