Click to open: “Cold Fusion” May Be Part Of A Scientific Revolution in Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Cold Fusion, Boston, 2003.
There have been seven scientific revolutions in physics :
• the Copernican, about 1506
• the Galilean, about 1593
• the Newtonian, 1664
• the Fluid paradigm originally formulated by Franklin, about 1745
• the Classical Field theory paradigm, rudimentarily formulated by Faraday in 1820 and developed by Maxwell
• the Quantum Mechanics (Q.M.) and Relativity theory paradigm formulated by Einstein, about 1905
• the Plasmoid paradigm by Lewis, 1992
There are major changes in the basic postulates of physics during the scientific revolutions. From 1506 to 1905, six groups of postulates were formulated. The revolutions happened about every 80 years. In fact, the period 1506–1905 is 399 years, or about 5 x 80 years.
