> The development of science on Earth was spurred fundamentally by observations of the regularities of the stars and planets.
perhaps on Venus, it would be spurred on by the creatures there trying to understand why a gaseous swirl goes in a certain direction, or why a vortex does what it does for as long as it has to
they may be better at fluids and flow than we are :) worth sending a message in a bottle at least
Yeah I think even if we didn't have the stars, there's plenty of other natural phenomena to spark science. Sparks being one of them. But pretty much any field other than astronomy could be a starting point. Meteorology is certainly a possibility
