With Isaac Newton’s discoveries in optics‚ motion and mathematics‚ he developed the principles of modern physics. At age 12‚ Isaac Newton had attended The King’s School‚ Grantham. Where he was taught the basics and classics‚ but he wasn’t taught any sciences or mathematics. When he turned

They each had their own unique ideas and strived to answer the same questions‚ but their theories often clashed‚ leading to great discussion. Even with different views‚ their work has a great number of similarities and they often looked to one another in order to develop their own positions.

Kuhn describes the work of scientists in a scientific field as being conducted under the banner of a ‘paradigm’‚ which he defined as “universally recognized scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners” 1 . Citing numerous historical examples‚ Kuhn explained

Paradigm is a sum of accepted metaphysical assumptions‚ theories‚ methodologies‚ manuals and techniques. In Kuhn’s theory there are three periods of science‚ which are Normal science‚ Crisis and Scientific Revolution. Normal science is the continuation of pre-scientific era that formed many opinions‚ but had no consensus or general agreement about how one should

result of occasional revolutionary explosions of new knowledge whereby each revolution was triggered by introduction of new ways of thought that were so large that he called them paradigms. These paradigms according to Kuhn were supposed to generally recognize scientific achievements‚ present model problems and solutions for group of researchers.

position regarding universality and objectivity of the scientific method. Kuhn acknowledged that paradigms established by the scientific community shift periodically as new discoveries are made. These new paradigms lead to new questions of existing data and possibly a new direction in the research field. Not simply relying on past research and experience‚ but instead being open to exploring alternatives to long-held beliefs will enable the scientific community to experience a greater level of progress
