I haven't read that book, but I always feel this kind of science-fiction
weirdness when I read that kind of books.  I don't believe you can treat
subjects like quantum physics without their mathematical formalism - the
two belong together.  Without maths, you simply cannot understand the
physics, because many implications are purely mathematical - such as the
well-known Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which follows purely from the
non-communtance of operators (space and momentum, in this case).  You won't
find this in Hawkins or his likes, I think - they try to make it 'logical',
but it isn't logical, it just follows from the mathematical formalism.  It
is very easy to get a wrong view on matters that way.
