Kuhn’s argument was the transition was not simple from one theory to the other. He called this “revolutionary science”, which the old and new paradigms are conflicting each other. If the new paradigm is successful in fixing the outstanding issues and gaining acceptance, it will become the new paradigm. Traditional views were challenged with Kuhn's work but also highlighted the social and psychological factors of science. -
