Scientific paper

We discuss the extent to which the visibility of the heavens was a necessary
condition for the development of science, with particular reference to the
measurement of time. Our conclusion is that while astronomy had significant
importance, the growth of most areas of science was more heavily influenced by
the accuracy of scientific instruments, and hence by current technology.
