OCCAM's RAZOR

WILLIAM of OCKHAM

"Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily."

Stephen HAWKINS

"We could still imagine that there is a set of laws that determines events completely for some supernatural being, who could observe the present state of the universe without disturbing it. However, such models of the universe are not of much interest to us mortals. It seems better to employ the principle known as Occam's razor and cut out all the features of the theory which cannot be observed."

... Hmm ... !?

ALBERT EINSTEIN

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
