Occam's Razor dictates that when faced with multiple valid explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest one should be preferred. For instance, when considering the construction of the pyramids, the hypothesis that local people built them is far simpler and more probable than one involving extraterrestrials. This principle guides scientific inquiry by focusing resources on the most likely explanations first.

Impact: High. Applying Occam's Razor efficiently directs scientific investigation, preventing the pursuit of overly complex or improbable theories and accelerating the discovery of fundamental truths.
