Paradigm shift

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

Paradigm shift

Should the cosmological paradigm change from LCDM to EU/PC, have you considered what would be gained, what would be lost?

What exactly do you mean by "changing the cosmological paradigm from LCDM to EU/PC"? These are two paradigms, and one cannot change into another.

Well, many people here and on other EU sites predict/hope LCDM will crumble for many different reasons and EU will be the 'natural' substitute. I wonder was it considered should such change come to be, from a scientific point of view what would be gained, what would be lost? Say, considering the mainstream and electric model of the sun, causes of redshift, and so on?

Paradigm cannot crumble. It is just an idea, after all (or rather a set of ideas). In a way, it is immortal.
I guess what you mean by "crumbling" is that less people would by default appeal to this paradigm to describe the world. Then the statement makes sense. But I wouldn't rely on it, as there are simply no reasons for them to do so - at the moment.

I believe, you're considering the process backwards. In reality one should first show how much more would be gained (in comparison to what would be lost) with the alternative paradigm for it to become popular (gain political resource) in the first place.
And currently, there isn't much. Aside from isolated works of people like Alfven, Peratt, Verschuur etc. the alternative paradigm is way under-developed.
