In summary, simplification is the process of making something easier to understand by removing unnecessary details or complexities. It is important to simplify complex ideas in order to improve communication and identify key concepts. One can simplify a complicated concept by breaking it down into smaller parts and using analogies or visual aids. While there may be drawbacks to simplifying ideas, it can be applied to all fields of science as a helpful tool in breaking down complex theories and ideas.
