A ceiling light suddenly goes out moments after it was turned on$.$ Three hypotheses have been proposed about the light that went out.

Hypothesis $1$: The light burned out.

Hypothesis $2$: Some mice, chased into the attic by the cat, chewed through the electric wire to the ceiling light.

Hypothesis $3$: A meteorite crashed through the roof into the attic and severed the electric wire to the light.

According to Occam's $($or Ockham's$)$ razor, which of the hypotheses that have been proposed about the light that went out is the best explanation?

hypothesis $2$

hypothesis $3$

hypothesis $1$

All are equally simple.
