Many centuries ago, the principle of razor Occam changed our view of the world, showing that simplicity is the fundamental principle of the universe. Biologist, Johngio McFadden, traces the history of scientific discoveries for several centuries, from geocentric space to quantum mechanics and DNA. According to Makfadden, life could appear only thanks to the maximum simplicity, and the fundamental law of the Universe is nothing more than the cosmological form of natural selection, which always favors the survival of the simplest elements. Introducing a new history of science and the origin of the Universe, this book fundamentally changes our idea of ourselves and the world around us.
before William Occam, the search for answers to questions was usually accompanied by the appearance of additional entities. William Oksam was the first to talk about the need to get to simple solutions reflecting the essence of the problem. Thanks to him, this principle has become fundamental in science and a distinctive sign of its modernity. The razor of Occam is everywhere. She paves the way, breaking through the thick of distorted ideas, dogmas, fanaticism, prejudices, false beliefs, beliefs, which everywhere and at all times prevented science of moving forward. Simplicity is not something brought to modern science, this is a modern science that, through scientific knowledge, reveals to us the modern world. ” (Jonjo Makfadden)
