In one of the books I'm currently reading, it talks for a brief moment about paradigm shifts. The example the author used was eventually, people will regard our current form of medicine the way we regarded the Paradigm of Humours. With new technologies, new bodies of knowledge, and ever evolving social philosophies, paradigm shifts are probably inevitable in a lot of various fields. Who knows? Maybe we'll see a major one in our lifetimes (if we haven't already).
