I thought Dr. Otter’s talk was interesting as he helped break down Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions into simpler terms. It’s interesting to think about how much science has evolved in the last sentury, and how these paradigm shifts involved distinguishing science from pseudoscience, and error to truth. I found it particularly interesting when he touched on the fact that many scientists have committed suicide as a result of a paradigm shift. I can only imagine that feeling of hopelessness when all the work your whole life has revolved around has been tucked away as wrong. This all also makes me wonder if anything we are studying today is accurate. Many beliefs accepted and reproduced through normal science were later to be proven as wrong, so I’m curious what theories in our world today may be proven wrong in 50 years from now!
