The Origin of Science

I'm interested in the origin of science, which had its origins in the West. It doesn't seem obvious to me that science benefits more from ignoring relationships between things. I mean, there's the wonderful fact that the Chinese understood metaphysics much better than the Greeks did. But they didn't invent science. They didn't do experiments. And it's because science just is categories and rules. If that's alien to you, then you're, you're not going to have science.
