It's from a book called "
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions", by
Thomas Kuhn which postulated that such revolutions did not only change the
content of
science, or even what could be called science, but also what
questions were even
worth asking. A
scientific revolution was a
paradigm shift. To understand the
implications of this, it's
helpful to study some of the history of
what we now call science through the ages.
Though such study, one learns nearly without exception, any person who caused a (scientific, at least) paradigm shift was a lot smarter than you.
