Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Occam's Razor is a principle of science and of philosophy that states that, given two explanations that both explain something, the one that introduces fewer unneccessary elements is preferable. It's basically " Don't bring in a bunch of speculations and extra stuff unneccessarily to explain what you're trying to explain. " It has a long and interesting history (well, interesting to me, perhaps I'm just weird). Some good sites about it: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/occam.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor Christie Caber Feidh ish Deerhounds Holistically Raising Our Dogs Since 1986 http://www.caberfeidh.com http://doggedblog.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
