revolutionary theory
Radically transformative idea
A revolutionary theory is one that fundamentally overturns established understanding in a field, replacing older frameworks rather than merely refining them.
Darwin's theory of evolution and Einstein's relativity are classic examples—each displaced previous assumptions about how the world works.
The phrase appears frequently in scientific and political contexts, where revolution suggests complete transformation rather than gradual change.
