Changes

A '''paradigm''' is a framework of rules and theories that follow a distinct pattern (the word paradigm actually comes from the Greek word for pattern).  Throughout history, paradigms have changed in events referred to as '''paradigm shifts.'''  An example of a paradigm shift would be the promotion by [[Galileo]] of a [[heliocentric]] solar system, versus the common paradigm of a [[geocentric]] solar system.  Paradigm shifts are often met with resistance, as many become stuck in '''paradigm paralysis.'''  In this case, the Roman Catholic church condemned Galileo's findings and forced him to recant.
