The Western Paradigm (not only scientific) proceeded in major jumps.
It started as Aristotelian Paradigm, and in 451 AC this spirit-body-split view was proclaimed as the view on life of the Catholic Church in the Council of Chalcedon
In the 17th century Descartes replaced the role of 'god' with 'ratio', without really changing anything. Since then the Western World is living in the Rational Paradigm, also called Western Scientific Paradigm, with myths like , 'consciousness', 'understanding'. 'intelligence',....

Scientists would have to make the new paradigm accepted in the scientific community. They may face a lot of opposition and skepticism.
Paradigm
The three prerequisites of a scientific revolution, as articulated by philosopher Thomas Kuhn, include the establishment of a dominant paradigm, the accumulation of anomalies that cannot be explained by the existing paradigm, and the emergence of a new framework that can better account for these anomalies. The dominant paradigm guides research and defines the norms of scientific practice, while accumulating anomalies create a crisis that challenges the existing beliefs. Ultimately, a scientific revolution occurs when a new paradigm is accepted, transforming the scientific field and its methodologies.
umm for what? paradigm shift or scientific revolution?
The consensus paradigm assumes that there is a general agreement or shared understanding within a scientific community about certain theories or models. Inconsistencies can arise when new evidence, alternative interpretations, or paradigm shifts challenge this agreement, leading to debates, disagreements, and revisions within the scientific community.
paradigm
When a scientific paradigm shifts, it indicates a significant change in the fundamental beliefs, theories, and methods that guide scientific research and understanding in a particular field. This shift often occurs when new evidence or discoveries challenge the existing framework, leading to a reevaluation and restructuring of scientific knowledge and practices.
The concept of "paradigm" was popularized by the philosopher and historian of science Thomas S. Kuhn in his influential 1962 book, "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions." Kuhn used the term to describe the framework of beliefs, values, and techniques that define a scientific discipline at a particular time. He argued that scientific progress occurs through a series of revolutionary shifts, or "paradigm shifts," rather than through a linear accumulation of knowledge.
Paradigm Paralysis the paradigm became a local depression. A sucking prison of law and order, the paradigm became a local truth vacuum: all locals ('scientists' + believers) 'think' sincerely that their 'law and order' = common sense A whirlpool of local truth. ALMOST no way out . Example: The Western World.
