Must read: the structure of scientific revolution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_...

tl;dr most of the time science is incremental innovation. and big discovery comes as paradigm shifts, usually first started by a group of “non-mainstream” researchers at the time.

I've run across mention somewhere recently that Kuhn's work has been somewhat deprecated. Unfortunately I don't recall where I saw this, or in what ways it may have been.

If this rings a bell with anyone, I'd appreciate a pointer or link.

Kuhn himself disowned much of his early views, refining his original intuitions in “The Structure”. There’s an essay on [1] in which he tries to offer a novel interpretation.
