Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Did you know Jay’s working on a top secret project for the Department of Defense? He uses invisible radiation to turn himself into an asshole.” Gabe looks at me, then at his friend, then back at me. “I’m missing something.” “Don’t worry, little brother.” I pat Gabe’s shoulder. “His terrible transformation only happens around women. You’re safe.”
“Never ask that question. I think I killed the wrong person. The book is terrible. Everything is terrible.”
“Children who argue about Higgs bosons over dinner don’t get dessert.” “Who says?” Gabe turns to her. “Sorry, kids. It’s the law. San Francisco municipal code section 415.1. If I saw the restaurant violating it, I’d have to shut them down, and it’s my favorite restaurant.”
I ignore this. “Okay,” I say to Maria. “Sure. I’ve had less favorable descriptions.” “Which,” Maria continues, “means that system-wise—what is it that laser stands for again?” “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” Rachel chimes in helpfully. She snaps her fingers. “Right. It means you end up in a near-perpetually excited state, and the only way you know how to deal with it is by stimulated emission.”
