It means there is not a gradual change but a revolution emerges and it results in change of ideas. His view is that knowledge advances when one theory is replaced by another as particular researcher attacks the credibility of an existing paradigm. It begins a crisis. Each group tries to argue in favour of their own paradigm and this revolution is strongly resisted by the established community. Kuhn compares scientific revolution to political revolution. They both start when the individual or a set of people feel that existing institutions have ceased to meet the problems posed by an environment. So different groups are formed and each defend its own institution. Yes it makes sense as new ideas are strongly attacked by the existing school of thought. As a result polarisation occurs. But with the passage of time parties to a revolutionary conflict finally resort to the techniques of mass
