A strange pattern running through the equations of physics may reveal something fundamental about the universe or could be a sign that human brains are biased to ignore more complex explanations of reality \u2013 or both.<\/p>\n

This insight comes from a physicist\u2019s version of Zipf\u2019s law, an observation by linguists that the most common word in a language appears twice as often as the second most common word, three times as often as the third, and so on. In English, for example, the word \u201cthe\u201d tends to make up around\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
