Science is needed. But if Newton were lying somewhere

Science is needed. But if Newton had been lying somewhere else and hadn't had that pear, or whatever it was, fall on his nose and alert him to the fact that there is also earth gravity, that gravity would have continued. He wouldn't have discovered it. Someone else would have discovered it. Twenty minutes or a hundred years from now. But if Shakespeare hadn't written Hamlet, he never would have! If the great artists hadn't done their work, we'd have been the poorer for it! Because art is communication.
