> Streven proposes a new explanation as to how and why science has advanced over time There is another theory of how science advances - technology. Historically, the discovery of new technology has advanced science. Whether they be telescopes, microscopes, glass, etc. Also, much of science derived from mysticism, chemistry -> alchemy, astronomy-astrology, so forth. Many times, new technology allows us to "see" ( production of empirical evidence ) to separate the mystic from the science. Newton, one of our great scientists was deep into the occult. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton%27s_occult_studies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton%27s_occult_studie...
