That's a valid hypothesis, but is empirically false.

  Ah, didn't know that.

  Empirically, complexity(einstein's field equations) > complexity(newton's law), complexity(spherical harmonics) > complexity(electrons spinning around atom) and so on and so on. Complexity is not a criterion for truth

    Except that those theorems explain things that cannot be explained by simpler theorems, thus they still satisfy the criterion.
    • ignifero 15y ago
      Their validity has nothing to do with complexity though
