| Jun 1, 2015 at 7:58 | comment | added | Isaac Kotlicky | I disagree with the closure as a dupe. This question asks "how would they decide to keep track of time," while the linked question is "how would they define their rotation about the sun to determine when a solar year has occurred?" The closure presupposes that the only correct answer to one is the answer to the other, but that's an inaccuracy - tracking time long term has many uses and mechanisms that don't require astronomy in the slightest. @burki | |

| Jun 1, 2015 at 3:15 | comment | added | 2012rcampion | I would argue that the development of mathematics and timekeeping in general would be far delayed compared to our own civilizations, since timekeeping would no longer be necessary to farm, and there would be no astronomical events to predict! (By timekeeping I mean, e.g. knowing when to harvest your crops before winter.) | |
