Loved the first episode of Paradigms, I never knew eyesight was such a hotly debated topic.

"i'm really sorry, if you're nott in the US" he says, with a canadian accent

I'm glad I relocated to the US so I can be further enlightened. Praise be!

Derrick I really miss your 2veritasium videos. The instant videos without any huge effort but you still deliver a philosophical thought. These videos really help people like us who have to stay put to their curriculum books and don't have the ability to wander into philosophy and watches your videos for entertainment purposes.

Camera stability! Did you use a chicken?

Was watching some other Veritasium videos and thought, "He should do one on Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions!" Beat me to it. By several years.

Love it. I read Structure of Scientific Revolutions in college, 35 years ago, and it's still one of my favorite books.

It is still important for everybody to know that science is never completely wrong. When we say Einstein came and revolutionized science, it doesn't mean he said that science was completely and absolutely wrong about a subject, in fact, what Einstein dis was he basically went deeper on that particular subject. That is what is incredibly amazing about science, this is never completely true and this is never completely false and it always go deeper on its knowledge in a way that makes it the closest possible to an absolute truth.

Awesome video, Derek! Looking forward to your series on paradigm shifts!

[AdamPitas]

Hey Vsauce Michael Here: But what is misconception!

[Т-ми]

Theories before: how things work
Theories now: where to look

[kcwidman]

Normal or gradual science is the discovery of new information that adds to humanity’s body of knowledge. Revolutionary science tears down and builds up a new foundation, rewriting what humanity previously thought it knew.

I loooove those "walking around rambling about something fascinating" kindd of videos you do!! 😁 I love the usual ones too, but these ones are a little bit like just taking a walk with a really well read and smart friend. Love it!

[FlorianRemy]

Thanks from the 95% of your viewers who don't live in the US ;)
