The beauty is widely found in nature and human society, closely related to human life.Since the birth of human civilization gave rise to thinking and questioning the beauty,however, until modern times only specialized research disciplines. About what is aesthetics,but there are many to understand and explain, not unrelated to the characteristics of the humanemotional and rational and Beauty. All related issues with the beauty in the the ScientificAesthetic Natural Science activities is an important branch of aesthetics. Voluminous writingsin the aesthetic, the beauty, a separate form is research, scientific beauty is often mentioned asa subsidiary. With the constant improvement of the theories of natural science, technologycontinues to evolve, the modern society is more dependent on science and technology as aproductivity would have people pay attention to the correct science and technology andcomprehensive understanding. Scientific beauty is the object of study of science andaesthetics, is an important factor in the scientific activities, modern scientists, philosophers ofscience who can often be seen exposition of scientific beauty. We believe that the scientificbeauty is neither divorced from the specific object, given the rational connotation, which fullyreflects reasonable and clever form, structure, rules, order of a natural phenomenon, researchmethods, the course of the study, or research results. Science and the beauty belong to thesocial areas of the beauty, and social beauty deeper things. Therefore, the science of aestheticsas a form of independent study must draw the attention of scientists.This paper selected two scientific revolution in physics-relativity and quantummechanics in the early20th century, two belonging to different scientific paradigm theory.The author from many scientists recognized scientific aesthetic factors such as simplicity,symmetry, harmony angle proceed to analyze the implication of the Scientific AestheticIdeology in the two paradigms, and their impact on the development of two paradigms.Derived through a comparative study in the development and progression of these twoparadigms, the scientific community in the same paradigm adhere to the scientific aestheticidea is to have the consistency, aesthetic thought in a different paradigm, however, contains adifferent aesthetic standards, That is, there is a uniform standardized aesthetic norms in theprocess of scientific development, aesthetic norms similar paradigm replacement.Understanding of scientific beauty is actually more out of consideration of the phenomenon, taken its structural vague approach, so I try to analysis from a structural point of view ofscientific beauty.The Science beauty has its own essential attribute. Science and the beauty is the productof the people in the scientific activities, is the sublimation of the human mind, reflects itsobjective existence. The scientific beauty constantly enriched with the progress of the humancognitive level, it is closely related to the accumulation of human experience. However, as theaesthetic, also no consensus on the interpretation of the scientific beauty. In fact, scientificbeauty of the criteria is not a single, so it should be stressed that science and aesthetics in thecreation of science has important methodological and epistemological sense, so that scientistscan consciously apply a wide range of research methods in scientific activities. Only anunderstanding of the scientific essence of beauty, in order to recognize the significance ofscientific beauty.Science beauty is a strong tool, many scientists will mention the pursuit of scientificbeauty actively promote their scientific discoveries in the history of science. The pursuit ofscientific beauty is the sublimation of scientists intuition and experience, this is an emotionaland rational combination of research methods. Science and Arts is closely associated with thecharacteristics implied by the beauty of art, people need to have a certain artistic quality inorder to enjoy the beautiful artwork, the same people in order to recognize the scientificbeauty you have to have a certain degree of scientific literacy, and all this is to get a feelingof beauty in the appreciation of beauty, which reflects the scientific and the beautynon-instrumental. I believe that the study of science the beauty as a means of scientificactivities is one-sided, Science and the beauty has an independent structure. According to thechoice made by the scientific beauty in scientific activities are not necessarily true, but theultimate goal of scientific research beauty is the truth. The history of science, in the face ofbeauty and really choose, and sometimes select not to abandon true, but on the essentialmeaning of the beauty is selected in order to obtain the true nature of sense, really discardedlocally within the scope of obtained a deeper level of true.
