My best friend has a doctorate in physics from Johns Hopkins and the mis-use of the term, and misappropriation of the concepts, by layfolk and new age gurus really drives him nuts. |
This is why I avoid talking about it. I have no training in the field. However, the two Kaku interviews I link to above are well worth listening to. I would suggest beginning with the shorter BBC one. Then if you want more after listening to both, read his latest book Parallel Worlds, as I'm currently doing.
