| The Structure of Scientific Revolutions -

IMHO there oughtta be a category dedicated to Thomas S. Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions. This would include the meanings of Standard Theory, Primary Anomaly and Paradigm Shift. Kuhn's work is an excellent primer for anyone seriously interested in science, particularly if someone is interested in making a progressive contribution to science. Kuhn also prepares the dedicated researcher for staunch resistance and objectively ungrounded shunning and/or criticism.

- RP (George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words. "All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus "Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein "Particles give me a headache." - Ibid |
