step process. First is any everyday science‚ or paradigm. A paradigm is like a solution to a problem. Next step is the anomaly. The anomaly is a problem that can’t be solved. Then‚ the next step is the crisis‚ which new ideas and methods are started to try and crack the anomaly that couldn’t be solved previously. The fourth step is the paradigm shift. During the paradigm shift‚ a new approach becomes successful and works. The last step is when the paradigm is published into books so that other scientists

The current paradigm of this time was that the fastest particle on Earth travels at the speed of light. A paradigm dictates the methods and boundaries regarding what is studied in the scientific community.

The other definitions in the research literature include: 1. Patton (1990): A paradigm is a
