There are at least 2 stands in this & issue debate.
**Scientific continuity is related to scientific change
Shebere & Kuhn are repredebtatives. The (alleged by S. ) problem of "incommensurability"(Kuhn, '60s) attempts to explain scientific change in terms of concepts of meaning and reference. Another way is through the concept of "reasons" and the issues of reasons.
The Gallilean paradigm broke meaning continuity from the Aristotelian & is inconsumerable i. E no comparison can be made between the 2
**Scientific Continuity as independent area
A more standard way, it providers factors such as mathematics continuity and causal continuity. GR for example deviated some how causal from Newtonian gravity but maintained mathematical cintinuity
The issue of scientific continuity can be defined as the preservation of knowledge, research progress, and expertise in a field over time, despite changes in personnel, funding, and other factors. Scientific continuity is important because it ensures that research programs and projects can be continued over the long term, and that valuable knowledge and data are not lost or forgotten.
To assess the issue of scientific continuity, the following factors can be considered:
By considering these factors, researchers and institutions can determine the level of scientific continuity in a field, and take steps to address any gaps or weaknesses to ensure that research progress is maintained over the long term.
To define and assess the issue of scientific continuity, several factors should be considered:
