Science is supposed to be a rational, factual matter, but especially in this field when you express a view or do research into topics which go against the ruling paradigm, it's difficult.

paradigm 来自希腊语，para-表示"旁边、对比"，-digm来自希腊语deiknymi表示"展示、模式"。组合起来原指"展示对比的模式"，现指"理论框架、思维模式"，在科学领域特指被广泛接受的研究范式或标准模型。
