| Occam's razor |
(a) The notion that the simplest explanation of a problem is the preferred explanation, unless it is known to be wrong. (b) Ockham's Razor: Entia non sunt multiplicanda ("Entities are not to be multiplied"). A doctrine formulated by William of Ockham in the fourteenth century. As used by physicists, it means that any hypothesis should be shorn of all unnecessary assumptions; if two hypotheses fit the observations equally well, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be chosen.

| Occam's razor |
William of Occam was a fourteenth century philosopher who enunciated the principle "pluritas non est ponenda sine necessitate", or "nature likes things as simple as possible." In other words, in developing a theory, the simpler the explanation of a given phenomena that takes into account all the experimental evidence, the more likely it is to be correct. This could also be called the KISS principle: "keep it simple, stupid."
