Q

kuhn

A

paradigm shifts (when new paradigm replaces old one) ,
scientists have to work within paradigms - have broad outlines to work within and just fill in details through their studies

  • if you work outside of these outlines risk being ridiculed (eg dr velikovsky)
  • however in rare occasions during scientific revolutions this concept is not followed ( if paradigm is already being questioned and has many outliers)
