TL;DR: The historian Alfred Crosby (1997) has proposed that visualization is one of only two factors that are responsible for the explosive development of all of modern science.
Abstract: The use of visual images is common in many branches of science. And reviewers often suggest that such images are important for progress in the various fields (Koestler, 1964; Arnheim, 1970; Taylor, 1971; Tukey, 1972; Klovdahl, 1981; Tufte, 1983; Belien and Leenders). The historian Alfred Crosby (1997) has gone much further. He has proposed that visualization is one of only two factors that are responsible for the explosive development of all of modern science. The other is measurement.
