This shift from philosophical and conceptual thinking to a much more technically oriented approach can also be observed in the generations of researchers that followed the discovery of the established paradigm or standard model.
What was required for the exploration and perfection of the established paradigm was above all technical calculations, and thus the physicists who excelled in the post-established paradigm era were mainly those who were more technically skilled.
It is thereby considered that the earlier generations physicists like Einstein and Born and their more conceptual-philosophical approach is obsolete or second grade.
The same 8s happen g at the evaluation criteria of Journals.
Is this good for physics?
P. P. Afxenti This paradigm shift from philosophical and conceptual thinking to a much more technically-oriented approach is an incomplete pedagogical approach to encapsulate a total exact understanding of the discipline. In my view, Engineering [disciplines which include the technical oriented approach in all these disciplines' pedagogy] is Applied Physics itself in its entirety.
