It hasn't dumbed anything down, but it is readable and covers loads of interesting topics.
Highly recommend it.
Iv'e JUST finished reading it!! How much of a coincidence, his lectures led me to his book. Great taste sir!

The chapter about psychokinesis was so engrossing.
haha strange!
The bit about antimatter and negative matter/energy is mental.

this was exceptionally poor, i found the explanation/comparison with mountain ranges utterly confusing and pointless

watch Michio Kaku's lectures on youtube, he is great
Is he that Japanese American physicist dude that looks like an old asian porn star? I think I watched his documentaries, somethings ringing bells anyway.

It's a decent book, read it awhile year ago. Nicely different from most of the usual physics books. Although I thought the later chapters weren't as good as the early ones.

If you're looking for another un-dumbed-down book, I'd like to suggest Lisa Randall's Warped Passages.

that's a coincidence, i was watching a few docs about him over the weekend.
they were saying he did portraits of the girls and customers in a strip club on a regular basis.
