What do you predict will be the next overarching, revolutionary saltation (paradigm) in the philosophy or theory of science?

In summary: Originally posted by Loren Booda What do you predict will be the next overarching, revolutionary saltation (paradigm) in the philosophy or theory of science? One in which consciousness exists and science faces up to the metaphysical muddle on which it is built.

booda sounds so cool when u say it in your head..
booda!
booda!

anti-matter, once it is used as an energy source i think this will cause major leaps in our capability to preform scientific experiments...
and u know the experiments on creating matter out of energy? i think this will change alot... cause this sort of scientific discovery is godlike...

The discovery of the ToE.
More directly, the discovery that M-Theory is the ToE after all

Theory of Everything; perhaps M-Theory or quantum gravity.

The significance of "M" is still Moot, but some claim it is an upside-down "W" for Edward Witten, the superstring genius out of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton.

One in which consciousness exists and science faces up to the metaphysical quicksand on which it is built.
No. wait a minute, that's what I hope, not what I expect. What I expect is no change.

Witten himself said that the word either stands for "Matrix", "Mother", or "Membrane", depending on preference, IIRC.

The nature of "Dark Energy", and the realisation that our present ideas about a Theory of Everything must be supplemented by a Theory of Everything Else.

I like that. 'A Theory of Everything Else'. Lol.
FAQ: What's the next scientific paradigm?
What is a scientific paradigm?
A scientific paradigm is a set of accepted theories, methods, and assumptions that guide scientific research and understanding within a particular field or discipline.
How do scientific paradigms change?
Scientific paradigms can change through a process called a paradigm shift. This occurs when new evidence or discoveries contradict the existing paradigm, leading to a major change in the accepted theories and methods within that field.
What is the current scientific paradigm?
The current scientific paradigm is often referred to as the "modern" or "contemporary" paradigm, which is characterized by a reliance on empirical evidence, a focus on specialization and reductionism, and a belief in progress and the ability to understand and control the natural world.
What might the next scientific paradigm be?
It is impossible to predict with certainty what the next scientific paradigm will be. However, some scientists believe that it may involve a shift towards a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach, as well as a greater emphasis on sustainability and ethical considerations.
How can scientists prepare for the next scientific paradigm?
Scientists can prepare for the next scientific paradigm by staying open-minded, constantly questioning and challenging current theories and methods, and actively seeking out interdisciplinary collaborations and diverse perspectives. It is also important to stay updated on new developments and advances in other fields, as these may influence the direction of the next scientific paradigm.
