Paradigmatic development of science

Abstract

Paradigmatic development of science This paper examines the paradigmatic evolutionary development of science. The authors rely on the works of T. Kuhn, then, following V. S. Stepin, there are four shifts of research paradigms. The dependence of the research results on the scientist’s orientation towards one or another paradigm is emphasized. The article suggests that the subsequent scientific paradigm will focus on what is called “Nothing” in philosophical terminology, i.e. on the dark energy of the cosmic vacuum, it is also called the darkness of the creation of the world. It is noted that before that, science focused mainly on real-life matter. The movement of thought in this direction will shed light on the riddle of the emergence of the material from the formlessness of the nonexistent.
