SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY-
INTRODUCTION

A SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION OCCURS WHEN THE NEW PARADIGM

BETTER EXPLAINS THE OBSERVATIONS, AND OFFERS A MODEL THAT
IS CLOSER TO THE OBJECTIVE, EXTERNAL REALITY AND (II) THE NEW
PARADIGM IS INCOMMENSURATE WITH THE OLD.
THOMAS KUHN ATTACKS “DEVELOPMENT-BY-ACCUMULATION” VIEWS
OF SCIENCE WHICH HOLD THAT SCIENCE PROGRESSES LINEARLY BY
ACCUMULATION OF THEORY-INDEPENDENT FACTS. KUHN LOOKED AT
THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE AND ARGUED THAT SCIENCE DOES NOT
SIMPLY PROGRESS BY STAGES BASED UPON NEUTRAL OBSERVATIONS.
Overview of the scientific discovery

* TECHNOLOGY IS ABOUT TAKING ACTION TO MEET A HUMAN NEED

RATHER THAN MERELY UNDERSTANDING THE WORKINGS OF THE
NATURAL WORLD, WHICH IS THE GOAL OF SCIENCE. THE INVENTION
OF THE MICROSCOPE WAS DRIVEN BY A NEED TO EXPLORE THE
WORLD OF THE SMALL, BEYOND OUR UNAIDED VISION. THIS
TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO A LONG STANDING PROBLEM HAS IN
TURN ENABLED US TO UNDERSTAND MORE THE WORKINGS OF THE
WORLD WHICH IN TURN HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MORE
TECHNOLOGIES.
EFFECT

 The Effect of Scientific Discovery or Innovation to Mankind is a

Beginnings of modem science Belief and Progress and the Power of
Reason and New View of the Universe as well ordered system.

 Networking is having an increasing impact on all aspects of the

weather and climate enterprise. Advances in network technologies
have enabled automated data collection, as well as remote access
to specialized computing servers that support models and
forecasting.
