This BBC video above "Colorful Notions" from 1985 first summarizes the classical theory of color vision and follows with the ideas of Edwin Land who personally explains and demonstrates his experiments. It can be viewed as an introduction to this work.

On Revolutions in Science
by Gerald Huth on March 19, 2006
The following is another bit of abstracted text from Arthur Koestler’s “Ghost in the Machine”, pp168-169:
“………The revolutions in science are successful escapes from blind alleys. The evolution of knowledge is continuous only during those periods of consolidation and elaboration which follow a major break-through. Sooner or later, however, consolidation leads to increasing rigidity, orthodoxy, and so into the dead end of overspecialization. – to the koala bear. Eventually there is a crisis and a new ‘break-through’ out of the blind alley – followed by another period of consolidation, a new orthodoxy, and so the cycle starts again.
But the new theoretical structure which emerges from the break-through is not built on top of the previous edifice; it branches out from the point where progress has gone wrong……….”
