CCL: The Kuhn dilemma and a possible solution

 Sent to CCL by: Sengen Sun [sengensun a yahoo.com]
 I came across the following web page when I searched
 the internet:

 Thanks for the comment there. One thing that that site
 tells me is the contrast difference between the young
 and the well-established scientists. A young scientist
 is eager to think something new and wish to make
 changes for better science. A well-established
 scientist tends to maintain what he/she has already
 achieved. Such a dilemma was well described by Kuhn
 (not Kohn :-)
 http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/Kuhn.html
 Kuhn recognized that a significant (or important)
 paradigm shift in scientific theories is generally
 made by a younger scientist, and is strongly resisted
 by the established scientific community, as shown by
 the history. But a young scientist also tends to make
 naive mistakes in theoretical science, complicating
 the standout of a true theoretical revolution.
 I would like to call this dilemma between the young
 and the established as the Kuhn dilemma. What is an
 appropriate solution for the Kuhn dilemma then? How
 about to establish an award for theoretical paradigm
 shift? That would be really a good intention worth
 praising. But who should be the judges?
 Such an award would create another philosophical
 dilemma on the top of the Kuhn dilemma. If the
 established community (where the judges from) are
 eager to award (not to resist) a significant and
 important paradigm shift in theoretical science,
 Kuhn's theory and reasoning are wrong!
 Actually, I think that the Kuhn dilemma has been
 solved for nearly two decades due to human's
 civilization in the Internet communications, which
 will make the resistance (to the new theoretical
 discovery) powerless or very short-lived. The youngers
 instead of the established will be the ultimate judges
 of scientific theories. As soon as we have a global
 community of free, open, equal, and professional
 discussions on science, a scientific truth will be
 eventually a scientific truth. Any naive mistakes will
 be mistakes and cannot be helped by the internet.
 The Internet communications are profoundly changing a
 world community of political correctness in
 theoretical chemistry, a world community of blind
 trust, and a world community of fear to speak the
 correct science. The Nobel foundation and Nobel
 laureates are not super-human but all normal human
 beings who make errors here and there. The Internet
 communications are changing the absolute control of
 the scientific discussions by Nobel
 foundation-authorized scientific giants.
 That web site by Kerr also tells me that some younger
 computational and theoretical chemists are not quite
 familiar with famous philosophers in science such as
 Popper (not Pople :-)
 Kuhn and Popper's philosophies are closedly related to
 CCLers. Kuhn was more accurate in account of
 historical evolution of scientific theories. Popper is
 a figure of vigorously logical reasoning:
