Attempts to account for the darkness of the night sky have historically stimulated some of the most important developments in astronomy and physics, including the recognition of extinction in the interstellar (and intergalactic) medium, the debate over "island universes", the possibility of hierarchical matter distribution, spatial curvature and cosmic expansion. As resolutions of "Olbers' paradox" nearly every one of a dozen or more such ideas proved inadequate. But their eventual prominence in other areas of astronomy serves as a prime illustration of the adage that truly fundamental science justifies itself.
