Cutting Down Ockham's Razor via OpenMind Magazine [Shared]

We hear all the time that the simplest explanations are usually the right ones. This truth-testing idea—known as Ockham’s razor, after the English medieval philosopher William of Ockham—has been embraced by no less authorities than Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Today scientists invoke Ockham’s razor on topics ranging from Covid’s origins to cosmic dark matter, while folks debating a subject on social media regularly invoke it as their final arbiter. After all, why complicate something more than you need to? Isn’t it better to shave ideas down to their essential truths?

Die einfachste Erklärung für das Handeln der #CDU ist, dass diese rechte, autoritäre Politik machen will.

Die Begründung, damit die #AfDödel klein halten zu wollen, ist nur vorgeschoben.

Sieht man es aus dieser Perspektive, fällt auch der scheinbare Widerspruch weg, dass die CDU einerseits behauptet, gegen die AfD vorzugehen, aber andererseits alles tut, um diese Partei nach vorne zu bringen.

Unser #Universum befindet sich im Inneren eines Schwarzen Lochs - diese #Theorie finde ich sehr charmant. Sie passt zu den Beobachtungen, und kommt ohne die theoretischen Zusatzgrößen #DunkleMaterie und #DunkleEnergie aus.
Damit ist sie laut #OckhamsRazor deutlich logischer als die Idee eines #Urknall.
