I'm surprised that, so far, I haven't been challenged on the basis of Occam's razor. It is a powerful argument for the ToE. (Although, IMHO, it doesn't invalidate what I've been saying about the principle of falsifiability.)

Please note that Occam's razor is an alternative philosophy of science. Also, several variants of the Razor have been developed. Interesting, no?

"Occam's razor"

Physics has the action principle. All interacitons follow the lowest energy path available. No observable in nature will ever follow a route of higher energy when a lower one is available. From the last post, if it don't show up when you look, it don't exist.

Contemporary wisdom: The KISS principle applies to all things.
