'''The Concept of "Theory Change"''': What happens when a theory is replaced? Realists point out that the '''Equations''' usually survive. Einstein's gravity replaced Newton's, but Newton's equations are still "buried" inside Einstein's. This is called '''Structural Realism'''—the "Structure" of reality is what science is slowly uncovering.
