Has there ever been a Science Age or Revolution? Like the Industrial Revolution or the Romantic Age and so on and so on. Basically where science was in the lead and about all recognized it? (lemmy.world)

I'd argue that it's a culture-specific thing:

Among Empiricism Science rules.

but among the academic-class-system, it is status which rules.

& among authority-based-medicine ( see here for evidence, & they're being MUCH more polite about it than I, gaslit by doctors all my life: dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: he taught me to think .. but he still insisted that authority-based-medicine was evidence-based-medicine, because that was his identity ) .. it is evidence-based-medicine IDENTITY and authority which rules: validity is exclusive to doctors.

So, pick any time in history, including now, when immense science is being done, & you'll find that those born into science-culture live science's paradigm, but those born into other assumption-rivers/religions' way, are embodying their cultures/paradigms.

There has never been any time, that we know-of, where there weren't competing paradigms which owned more of the population.

Not for a continental-region, not for the whole-planet.
