On crisis stage: Understanding Paradigms in Science

The speaker discusses the concept of competing paradigms in science, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the scope of a paradigm. He highlights that a paradigm is not necessarily applicable to all of science but can be limited to a specific area, potentially involving a small group of practitioners. In times of crisis for a paradigm, characterized by unexplainable anomalies that require extensive modifications to theories, only those directly affected within the specific area may perceive the crisis, while others might not even notice.
