Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1:

• A character with messy hair and a light blue shirt is pointing emphatically.
• He says: “HEY THOMAS KUHN – YOUR PARADIGM THEORY IS WRONG. SCIENCE DOESN'T GROW BY REVOLUTIONS! THE WHOLE PROCESS IS MESSY.”

Panel 2:

• A gray-haired man with glasses and a serious expression is listening, while a shirtless character with wild hair gestures animatedly.
• The shirtless character says: “SOMETIMES YOU GET A THEORY THAT’S SO EXPLANATORY, EVERYONE SWITCHES OVER. SOMETIMES YOU GET A THEORY THAT’S THE TRUTH, BUT IT’S REJECTED BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE ISN’T GOOD YET. SOMETIMES REVOLUTIONARY THEORIES ARE REJECTED BECAUSE THEY’RE FUNDAMENTALLY STUPID.”

Panel 3:

• The serious man responds, pointing: “THERE’S NO NEAT CYCLE BETWEEN A GIVEN PARADIGM AND A REVOLUTION THAT ESTABLISHES A NEW PARADIGM.”

Panel 4:

• The shirtless character asks, looking confused: “SO YOU’RE SAYING… YOU HAVE A REVOLUTIONARY THEORY… THAT TURNS MY PARADIGM?”

Panel 5:

• Another character with a thoughtful expression replies, “KUHHHHHHNNNNN!”

The background colors vary, with a bright red in the final panel emphasizing the shouting character's passionate outburst.
