  1. While some people are #ockham listed best i can manage is #TheConversation. Strange to write an article on an #Antarctic expedition that was a decade ago - but we only managed to retrieve the full data set 3 years ago when a later expedition managed to get to the instruments and we discovered more data had been collected after the satellite link had broken.

  6. 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?

  21. This print “Occam’s Razor” is about the Law of Economy or Parsimony postulated by Scholastic philosopher William of Ockham (1287–1347), “pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate” or entities should not be needlessly multiplied. More simply this law, or really, rule of thumb is that the simplest explanation is usually right. The print shows Ockham himself, inspired by an image of him from a 🧵 1/n

  38. 🪩 Es una mina submarina, es un globo, es una bola de dragón, es un meteorito, un OVNI... lo cierto es que nadie sabía qué era la bola de metal que apareció en la playa de la isla de #Hamamatsu, en #Japón, y que tuvo a policía, ejército, científicos y población general especulando.

    Al final, un poco de navaja de #Ockham para hallar la respuesta: si flota, es redondo, refleja el sol para mayor visibilidad y está en el mar, lo más probable es que sea... una boya.
