"What is especially striking and remarkable is that in fundamental physics, a beautiful or elegant theory is more likely to be right than a theory that is inelegant.

The Foundamental Law is such that the different skins of the onion resemble one another and therefore the math for one skin allows you to express beautifully and simply the phenomenon of the next skin."

“So, the thing weâ€™re all not talking about,â€ he says. He gestures to me. â€œYou almost died, a sadistic pansycake saved you, and now weâ€™re all waging some serious war with the factionless as allies.â€ â€œPansycake?â€ says Christina. â€œDauntless slang.â€ Lynn smirks. â€œSupposed to be a huge insult, only no one uses it anymore.â€ â€œBecause itâ€™s so offensive,â€ says Uriah, nodding. â€œNo. Because itâ€™s so stupid no Dauntless with any sense would speak it, let alone think it. Pansycake. What are you, twelve?â€ â€œAnd a half,â€ he says.”
