and how it should be performed
Paradigm
practices that define a scientific discipline at a certain point in time
Paradigm
contains all the distinct, established patterns, theories, common
methods and standards and standards that allow us to recognize an
experimental result as belonging to a field or not
Paradigm
- historically and culturally bound
- proceeds by accumulating support for hypotheses which in time
become models and theories - “undertaking the most rational path to learning objective reality
Paradigm
coined the the phrase “Paradigm Shift”
Thomas Kuhn
occurs when enough anomalies to the
current paradigm build up, causing scientists to question the foundational principles upon
which their worldview rests.
Paradigm Shift
This period of intense focus on explaining anomalies and developing a
new paradigm is considered “revolutionary science,”
Paradigm Shift
Invented an environment-friendly
and sustainable alternative light
source – SALT lamp.
Aisa Mijeno
It is an environment-friendly and sustainable alternative light source
that runs on saltwater, making it suitable to those who live in coastal areas. It can also
function well in remote barrios.
Salt Lamp
Published “Principia Mathematica” 1686
Isaac Newton
consists in
the comprehension of a diversity of physical phenomena – in particular the motions
of heavenly bodies, together with the motions of sublunary bodies – in few
relatively simple, universally applicable, mathematical laws

In what period does Japanese regime had made
developments in science and technology practically impossible.
Commonwealth Period
What is being declared as the importance and vital role of science and technology for the economic development of the country in Commonwealth period.
“The State shall promote scientific research
and invention…”
They had made
developments in science and technology practically impossible. This is also true when
World War II ended and left Manila, the country’s capital.

Using this, it discovered the sunspots
and the rough (uneven and mountainous) surface of the moon.

He was known for the story of being hit on the head by an apple
Isaac Newton
His work also completed the fusion of math promoted by Renaissance humanists, Aristotelian logic pushed by medieval university professors, and experiment to test a hypothesis pioneered by such men as Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo into what we call the scientific method.
