Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scientific paradigms are well-confirmed scientific views and widely shared methodologies. They allow scientists to work on a shared set of problems with a common approach. This is known as "normal science." Occasionally, paradigms will be overturned due to their inability to continue to provide a fruitful setting for scientific research. Such a change is known as a "paradigm shift."
