To be fair, leisure has been a luxury since ancient times. It depends on the two most difficult prerequisites for ordinary people: the freedom of material abundance or at least self-sufficiency, and the freedom to have enough spare time and perhaps even to ask for trouble to pass the time. Taking these two as the premise, supplemented by specific spiritual needs, whether they come from piety, such as religious inspiration, or purely innate curiosity, or to cater to fashion to show nobility, decency and breeding, at least in the 17th century, when it was called the rise of science or the scientific revolution, science was only a porcelain work that very few people could afford to consume.

The requirements of leisure and spiritual needs make it difficult for science to popularize in a particular era.
