* scptism
Knowing that you dont know anything is the key to knowledge
## **Paradime shift -**
* 3 things in a scintific theory
* Explanitary Power - explaining power
* Predictive Power - prediction power
* Simplicty - Be able to explain to other people and easy to undertand
All theorys need to have Explainitary and Predictive powers in order to be applicable
Scince progressses when you have thing they futhers the way we think
Occams Razor - Two ideas with the same conclusions use the one that is simplest
