Dark Matter

Got to about 40% into this audiobook but I have to stop it because it's making me mad. It's based on the splitting multiverse theory but the actual physics is simplified for the everyday reader. Which should be fine. But then the protagonist - a theoretical physicist - has a partner in his company who ALSO doesn't understand how the science works our hero has brewed up. Plus our scientist hero keeps running from all the people who have all the answers he's seeking. It's all bent towards a very black-hat white-hat action-movie plotline, where the hero wants to escape the world in which he's the ambitious family-less workaholic to get back to the timeline where he's less ambitious but has a fulfilling family-life.
