Normal science

Normal science, identified and elaborated on by Thomas Samuel Kuhn in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,^[1] is the regular work of scientists theorizing, observing, and experimenting within a settled paradigm or explanatory framework.^[2] Regarding science as puzzle-solving,^[3] Kuhn explained normal science as slowly accumulating detail in accord with established broad theory, without questioning or challenging the underlying assumptions of that theory.
