; Philosophy Landmarks
: '''The 'Black Swan' Problem''' → The philosophical warning that just because something hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's impossible.
: '''Occam's Razor''' → The rule that if you have two explanations for something, the "Simpler" one is usually the better one.
: '''The Copernican Revolution''' → The classic example of a paradigm shift that changed humans from "The Center of the Universe" to "Inhabitants of a small planet."
: '''The Replication Crisis''' → A modern crisis where many scientific studies can't be repeated, forcing us to re-evaluate how we do science.
