The Concept of Revolution in the Sciences: Michael Polanyi's Differences With Thomas Kuhn on Scientific Revolutions

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) was a blockbuster publication that problematized notions about the origins and nature of scientific revolutions. What became Kuhn's famous rubrics of “normal science” and “paradigms” were similar to concepts of “tacit knowledge” and scientific “frameworks” or “dogmas” in Michael ...

How Long Is the Coast of Quantum Chemistry? Or, How to Evaluate Density Functional Theory as a Scientific Revolution

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
Within quantum chemistry, density functional theory (DFT) is a revolution. This serves as an example of a multitude of other scientific events, supporting the idea that revolutions are always large, if observed with the appropriate magnification. ABSTRACT Distinguishing scientific revolutions from normal science is a subjective, conflicting matter ...

Retaining Models of Human Evolution After Repeated Falsifications—Why?

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
Two 19th century paradigms of human evolution emerged: Humans are subdivided into isolated populations in an evolutionary tree, versus human populations interbreed (gene flow) with no isolates. The tree model has been rejected whenever tested since the 1970's, whereas gene flow consistently fits.

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Proposing the concept of a conservative revolutionary generally and using the examples of Gregor Mendel, Max Delbrück, and Eric Davidson, I fundamentally call into question Thomas Kuhn's ideas of scientific revolutions. I also highlight some problematic consequences of the increasing appreciation of Kuhn's work among scientists and show that ...

A Dialogue on Revolutions and Revolutionaries in Science: A Perspective From Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We discuss the notions of scientific revolutions and revolutionaries in the context of the Relativity Revolution and of the First, Second, and Third Quantum Revolutions. We conclude that at the core of the question of what qualifies as a revolution and revolutionary is an assessment of the gradients of knowledge accumulation over time, both at
