Its a nice variant of Occam’s Razor – there is a strong parallel between ‘hard to vary’ and ‘the simplest theory’ I think.

Although on the other hand, the video ID of this talk is ’666′ (click ‘share’), so it must just all be the work of the devil!

It all comes down to the variables and if humanity has learned nothing else over the many centuries of scientific progress and even the building of the scientific process, it’s that there are always more variables that we aren’t aware of and haven’t accounted for.

If there is are no other absolutes or certainties in the universe, there is at least the fact that there is always something more to learn, one more bit of knowledge that changes everything.

It's the testing of falsifiable predictions that will eventually whittle down the number of variations to one that provides the best explanation.In my opinion, the turning point for humanity was the realization that there is a "natural order" in the universe exists (with absolutes), and everything isn't chaos based on the subjective and relative opinions and beliefs of the individual. Once this realization occurs, and exploration of the natural order becomes the natural next step for people.
