		It is a poor example, however, because within a few years Galileo was one of the most honored scientists in Italy, and held in high regard by the Jesuit astronomers of the Collegium Romanum—who were using telescopes with enthusiasm.
		Following the collapse of the Roman Empire, Europe entered the so-called Dark Ages, and where scientific research was nurtured by monks and church intellectuals until the age of the scientific revolution.

		Within historical context religion has played a huge role in the timeline of scientific discoveries, depending of the domination of mainstream thought during a specific allowed for certain dogmas to be challenged.
		In times where the church had power not only in the state but in peoples perception of life scientific discovery was clouded not only by the fear of persecution by the church, but also questioning the very beliefs that the scientist may have held with in themselves.
		Time and time again there is evidence found that implies that a certain “scientist” had all the information necessary to make a great discovery but somehow does not himself proclaim it until time passes and their successor arrive at what we may think was there long before the declaration.

	Journal of Technology Studies: Volume XXV, Number 2, Summer/Fall 1999 - A. Emerson Wiens
		Science before the scientific revolution was typically an intellectual pursuit, and the idea of using scientific knowledge to improve the quality of life through technological manipulation and product design was rarely pursued.
		Besides being hampered by crude research instruments, scientific discovery and understanding were also restricted by social institutions that valued conformity and status quo over discovery and exploration.
		However, a more recent analysis found a median delay of nine years between a scientific finding and its conversion to technology, a finding that would have modified the results of Project Hindsight somewhat if the researchers would have extended their study over a longer period (Volti, 1992).
