Kuhn's Paradigm Theory II: Prenormal science and the transition to normal science

[@SAliGhaderi]

I think Rutherford used Alpha particles to bombard a gold foil in his experiment! Alpha particles are positively charged and are deflected when they get too close to the nucleus of the gold atom. Based on the angles of deflection, Rutherford concluded that much of an atom's positive charge is concentrated in a relatively tiny volume at the center of the atom.

Economics seems to be still in the prenormal science phase. And yet the politicians take economists advices very seriously. :(
