I remember writing an essay on Kuhn vs Popper as a final assigment in Ex.Phil. My memory of Kuhn has now been distilled into "Science advances one funeral at a time."

Max Planck said something similar:

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
