RE: Philosophy of Science Part 2: Occam's Razor is Rusty
Lovely article, I enjoyed it, for the most part... I need to go deeper into it, but the part about Copernicus and Galilei was spectacular... Occam's razor is a myth then... but it is still used in some contexts
at any rate, great discoveries do deny the applications the razor has, which kind of render it useless... what would you call the opposite theory?
Copernicus' Sun?
Galilei's Last Stand?
Colombus' Stubbornness?
xD
Hah, I'm not sure it has an opposite, but those are clever names for it if there was!
