Kuhn's book, he argues that there are three phases to the scientific discipline. The first is immature science. It does not yet have a paradigm, consisting of many competing schools who all hold a small bit of truth and are trying to prove why their theory has more merit than the others.

society. The theory can be thought of like a car. Many different parts are needed for a car to function, but a number of things can go wrong before the car stops working.
