  • NNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTHHHHHHHAA­AAAANNNNNNNNN! i wonder if i will see this in class???? that would be odd

    which is my theory...

  • When you said "then there is a paradigm shift i was like OHHHhhhh" appreciate the vid man :)

  • We are currently studying the view differences that Karl popper and Kuhn had, but the explenation from this video seems to be correct for poppers theories too... Please correct me if im wrong ---> exam in 5 days!

  • the next paradigm shift will be based on WAR and and we will go back from where we started, peace and understanding, tolerance and mutual help will never work because we are and have been doomed to everlasting idiocies, there is no way out ladies and gentlemen so prepare for the worst that is still to come. Humans are bloody creatures, unjust and possessive.

  • @dawood17 And as long as YOU, and with you many others, believe this, this will eventually become truth. We can also shift into a paradigm of peace and a better world, but as long as everybody feeds the idea that a "peace based civilisation" is impossible, it will STAY impossible and we will remain at war with others, but most of all... with ourselves.

  • The old world will soon be completely destroyed through the coming global economic depression & WW3, and the "New World Order" will come. But it won't last. Divine intervention will follow.

    "No one will enter the New World Order unless he or she will make a pledge to worship Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he will take a Luciferian Initiation"

    -David Spangler, Director of Planetary Initiative, United Nations

  • @ethaneros1 are you in favor of that NEW WORLD ORDER?

  • so what is a paradigm?

  • @audreyvoijen You can see a paradigm as a pair of coloured glasses. It "colours" the way you see the world, reality and actually everything. When a new paradigm is introduced you simply "switch" glasses, and your world will be -for example- yellow instead of pink.

  • Nice examples. Liked the video. 

  • this is pretty fantastic, thanks a lot.

  • ...indeed, old theories die hard.

  • @silvermediastudio Yeah, I don't if not being able to break the bottle was intentional or not, but it became a good metaphor.

  • Awesome metaphor!

  • when you broke the old vast thing with a cinder block I fell off my chair laughing. Was not expecting that from a educational video

  • Wahahahahahaha!! i just saw this at the lecture hall!! the professor who made this video was sooo funny! lmaoo!!!!

  • lol how you broke that paradigm

  • Wonderful! Thank you!

  • LMAO!! That was so cool when you tried to break the jar with a hammer, but then you improvised by smashing it with the biggest rock for which it looks like you could find!! HAHAHAHAHA BRAVO!!! Excellent video.

  • Love the set up! I can see you have killed the bank account ! Eheheheheh ! love the vid !

  • It is hard to destroy an old theory!!! :D

  • Great outline of a rather complex concept. I like the metaphor!

  • THANK YOU!! So great:)

  • great vid. grasped the concept in just under 4 min. tnx.

  • This was a great explanation. I am currently reading Thomas Kuhn's novel, and I found some of it a little confusing. However, this helped to clear things up. Thanks!

  • that is not quiet right.

    A paradigm shift occurs when a new disciplin envolves wich investigates the parts wich didnt fit the old paradigm. This new disciplin uses the old definitions and methods of the old paradigm to explain these krisis making anomalies and it will become a new paradigm wich can explain all the old elements and the anomalies wich are now normalies. Thats the way i got it. Greetings form Germany Sportwissenschaften Leipzig 2010!

  • I'm not certain what you mean by "the old definitions and methods". Medical science certainly moved on from humours and bloodletting, and to use Kuhn's most common example, Copernicus certainly abandoned Aristotle's solid celestial spheres. The new paradigm replaces the old one according to Kuhn, rather than absorbing it.

  • i know because they are inkommensurable, but i mean the new paradigm uses the old instruments for their experiments and so on, but the instruments and the definitons have a different meaning according to the new paradigm

  • Awesome video!

  • lol i love how u just had to literaly DESTROY the old theory (vase)

  • hi nathan!!! :D it's tara,

    thanks so much for this video!!!!! i'm actually taking revolutions in science at york, and we are dealing with kuhn! your explanation is awesome!!! i've been trying to understand him, and thanks to you do i now!!!!

    i was watching this video, and i was thinking to myself, what a smart person who has made this video...he has made my life so much easier, then i looked at the name...and there you were :))))

    thanks again

    p.s you should make more videos like this one!
