oh and to clarify that last point, its probably a separate question, but I wonder what you think your support for the MWI implies about how you construe the relationship between math and physics.

Hi Sean! I'm a big fan of your work and an aspiring science writer myself and I want to ask you about your view of the appropriate use of mathematics in writing for a popular audience. How can you convey the power of equations without inducing a kind of awe that dulls skepticism, or more generally how do you deal intelligently with the relationship between physics and math when talking to a wide audience? I'm especially interested in your view as a theorist who also takes seriously the need for a consistent interpretation of QM.
