Thomas Kuhn distinguishes between what he calls normal and extraordinary science, the latter being the type that brings about a complete change—the famed "paradigm shift"—in a field.

For instance, now and then scientists are hampered by believing one of the over-simplified models of science that have been proposed by philosophers from Francis Bacon to Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper.
