It’s all a bit simple to present it that way. Both art and science influence culture in general. And culture infuses everything. So it’s all a lot more nebulous and fluid than “you can’t have science without art”, or “you can’t have art without science”. practicing both art and science are activities that humans are interested in. It’s just a fact. Whether or not science can exist without art is a non question. Now you could ask the question as a thought experiment. “If humans didn’t do art, would they do science”? I personally find these questions entirely fruitless... Some silly scientists will try and convince you that science exists outside of culture and that the scientific method is entirely objective. That’s just bullshit. Science is done by people. People evolve within a culture and that will inevitably taint everything with some subjectivity.
