The BP (before printing) / PE (printing era) "printing era dating system", based on the year of the invention of the Gutenberg printing press, introduced in 2012 (562 PE) by American electrochemical engineer Libb Thims. [1] |
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. |
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.”
“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.”— Karen Armstrong (1993) (542 PE), A History of God [6]
