Paradigm Shift

A Paradigm Shift' is a fundamental change in the way a concept or practice is understood, replacing an old way of thinking with a new one. The term was popularized by Thomas Kuhn in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and it describes moments when existing assumptions are challenged by new discoveries or perspectives. This can occur in science, such as the shift from a geocentric to a heliocentric model of the solar system, or in other fields like business, technology, or society.
