how does soemthing transition into being known?
is it once a scientific paper about it gets published on a peer reviewed reputable journal?
is that the only way? or do alternatives exist?

Are there legitimate alternatives to the scientific method?
If there were no journals, I don’t think they would have to be created before anything counted as being done using the scientific method.
Though, I do agree that peer review is very useful.
