The concept of revolution in science is widely used in philosophy of science. We be-lieve that the concept of revolution was borrowed from social-political literature and without any philosophical analysis was transferred to history of science.

This concept is nothing more than a metaphor for emphasizing empirical and theoretical discoveries of great significance in the history of science.
