Structure of Scientific Revolutions (book)

*The Structure of Scientific Revolutions* by Thomas Kuhn explores how science advances through phases. Initially, scientists work within an accepted framework called a "paradigm," solving puzzles and expanding knowledge. Over time, anomalies—unsolved problems—accumulate, eventually challenging the paradigm. When these anomalies become unmanageable, a scientific revolution occurs, leading to the adoption of a new paradigm that better explains the data. This process reshapes scientific understanding and progress isn’t purely cumulative but involves shifts in perspective. Kuhn’s work highlights the dynamic, cultural, and human elements behind scientific change.
