m to solve the problems that the paradigm allows. Kuhn calls it puzzle solving, but it is not trivial. Eventually, normal science will create anomalies. Anomalies are phenomena that cannot be explained by the paradigm. When enough of the anomalies build up, the current paradigm will be overthrown by another paradigm in which the anomalies are solved. This is what is called revolutionary science. In revolutionary science a great scientist comes along and creates a new paradigm. This is a rare occurrence. Revolutionary science is not subject to the rules of the paradigm, or any rules. It is an arational event. Kuhn doesnt say that the newer paradigm is right and the older one is wrong. He doesnt even say that the newer paradigm is better than the older one. They are all equal for Kuhn.While Einstein clearly thought that his theory was true and better than any other theory, there is a parallel to the arational nature of revolutionary science that can be seen in Einstein. Einstein starts his papers on his theories of relativity with the anomalies of the present paradigm . This can be shown here: It is known that Maxwells electrodynamics as usually understood at the present time when applied to moving bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be inherent in the phenomena. How does it come that certain reference-bodies (or their states of motion) are given priority over other reference-bodies (or their states of motion)? What is the reason for this preference? These are the anomalies that Einstein wishes to deal with. In order to create a new paradigm, Einstein must create the four things that as disciplinary matrix consists of. The symbolic generalizations in Einsteins theories would be the Lorentz transformations, the electromagnetic field transforms and the field equations. The metaphysical parts that are different from those in the previous paradigm would be the field. This can be shown here:The electromagnetic fields are not ...
