Science as a leisure time in the past was more commonplace than what it is today. Back then it took most people longer to get tasks done and once man started to develop more and create many things that allowed people more free time the study of science started to branch out. Not only was it supported to research science in some cultures such as the Greek it was something new and intrigued many people into the field and also provided people to make a name for themselves and allowed them to quench their thirst for knowledge.
Today science is still a respectable career but isn't promoted as much as it was before. Our community is usually busy showing other subjects that we see as "more entertaining." Science isn't being shown as a leisure time anymore with all the new distractions and new types of careers that we have today. I personally think it is how one is raised and what they were taught about science because not everyone will be interested into science but if taught correctly it can change our thoughts on how it can be used as a pass time and not just extra work
