“One of Poggio's finds that has become especially famous was, in January 1417, in a German monastery (never named by Poggio, but probably Fulda), the discovery of the only manuscript of Lucretius's De Rerum Natura known at the time. Poggio spotted the name, which he remembered as quoted by Cicero. This was a Latin poem of 7,400 lines, divided into six books, giving a full description of the world as viewed by the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus. It has been translated as On the Nature of the Universe (Oxford World's Classics). The manuscript found by Poggio was not preserved, but he sent the copy he had ordered to Niccolo Niccoli, who made a transcription in his beautiful book hand (the creator of italic script), which became the model for the more than fifty other copies circulating at the time. Poggio complained that Niccoli didn't return his original copy for 14 years! Later two 9th-century manuscripts were discovered, the O ("Oblongus", ca. 825) and Q ("Quadratus") codices, now kept at Leiden University.”

and in which the year 1 BP(1449 AD) occurred the year prior, counting backwards, similar to the years BC. [1] The BP/PE dating system is thus a modern hmolscience, non religio-mythology based, upgrade to the older AD, or “Anno Domini”, or “Year of our Lord”, Western culture dating system.

| Left: English physicist Isaac Newton, in the 18th century, objected to the label "AD", based on his objection to the existence of the trinity, and would use "AC", or Anno Christum, in its place. | ||
Hence, the use of a dating system based on the date of something that never existed, especially in a hard science encyclopedia, a focused group within which fewer than 5 percent of which believe in the existence of god. The following are the 1998 polled views of America's so-called leading or "greater" scientists, the members of the National Academy of Sciences, on personal belief or disbelief on God and immortality: [2]

| A gist learning curve chronology of the evolution of the BP/PE printing era dating system, in terms of the citation building blocks of the some of the main founders of hmolscience, namely: Empedocles (On Nature, 450BC), Goethe (Elective Affinities, 1809) Mimkes ("Society as a Many Particle System", 2000), and Thims ("A Guidemap to Human Chemical Thermodynamics"), who all, in turn, cited each other, progressively, in a successive build up. |
“This idea goes back to Empedocles of Acragas (495-435 BC). In his book On Nature he explains solubility of wine in water by the attraction and love of relatives, segregation of water and oil by the hate of enemies. J. W. Goethe (1749-1832) used this idea in his novel Die Wahlverwandtschaften to demonstrate that human relations depend on the chemical laws of society.”
See main: BP article (for full etymology)The BP/PE dating system was conceived in 2012 by American electrochemical engineer Libb Thims. [1] On 15 Apr 2013, the BP/PE dating system began to be introduced online into a few Hmolpedia articles, namely: Empedocles, Isaac Newton, Johann Goethe, Libb Thims, Jurgen Mimkes, and Napoleon Bonaparte.
“In the era BC (before cybernetics) it [Elements of Physical Biology] was an important source of education and encouragement for few souls who had gleam in their eyes about the prospective mathematization of the social sciences. It had a substantial influence on Henry Schultz and Paul Samuelson, and, I am sure, many others besides myself. As a matter of fact, most of the ideas of [Norbert] Wiener emphasizes—for example, the relation of entropy to organizational behavior—can be found in Lotka, and I have felt some annoyance at the lack of recognition of the latter’s contributions.”— Herbert Simon (c.1990) (Ѻ)
“Since, we are looking at the history of God from the Jewish and Muslim as well as the Christian perspective, the terms ‘BC’ and ‘AD’, which are conventionally used in the West, are not appropriate.”References— Karen Armstrong (1993) (542 PE), A History of God [9]
