 Philosophy of Science, by Roger Jones
Science progresses when a theory is shown to be wrong and a new theory is introduced which better explains the phenomena.
Feyerabend agrees with Kuhn that the history of science is the history of different viewpoints, and for Feyerabend this means that what counts as 'knowledge' in the future may have paradigms we cannot yet know.
At the boundaries of science new paradigms are emerging to challenge the current orthodoxy, it is an open question as to how the science of the next century will develop.

 New Scientist Premium- Soviet science heads for 'disaster' - This Week
SCIENCE and education in the Soviet Union are in such a disastrous state that the future of the Soviet Union is under threat, according to the resolutions of the recent Congress of the country's ruling Communist Party.
The scientific and academic community is riddled with nihilism, apathy and mistrust of the Party, and the brain drain of talented scholars leaving the country poses an 'especial danger', said the resolutions.
To help remedy the situation, the Congress called for the establishment of a special commission of the Central Committee to deal with issues of science, education and culture, and proposed a number of 'aims and principles' for the science and education policy of the Party.

These contributions represent a variety of approaches to the history of science, including the development of scientific ideas per se, the influence of philosophical and religious ideas on the development of science, and the study of science as a social activity.

The virus could not be isolated from blood lymphocytes, a fact that is now explained by the early stage (lymphadenopathy) of this patient's disease when the virus is almost exclusively located in lymphatic tissues.
Louis Pasteur's quote that "luck in science smiles on prepared minds" certainly applied to us.
