    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era

    Common Era and Before the Common Era are alternatives to the original Anno Domini (AD) and Before Christ (BC) notations used for the same calendar era. The two notation systems are numerically equivalent: "2025 CE" and "AD 2025" each describe the current year; "400 BCE" and "400 BC" are the same year. [1] [2]

    The BP scale is sometimes used for dates established by means other than radiocarbon dating, such as stratigraphy. [5] [6] This usage differs from the recommendation by van der Plicht & Hogg, [7] followed by the Quaternary Science Reviews, [8] [9] both of which requested that publications should use the unit "a" (for "annum", Latin for "year") and reserve the term "BP" for radiocarbon estimations.

  6. Radiocarbon calibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_calibration

    For a set of samples with a known sequence and separation in time such as a sequence of tree rings, the samples' radiocarbon ages form a small subset of the calibration curve. The resulting curve can then be matched to the actual calibration curve by identifying where, in the range suggested by the radiocarbon dates, the wiggles in the ...

    An image from John Dalton's A New System of Chemical Philosophy, the first modern explanation of atomic theory.. This timeline of chemistry lists important works, discoveries, ideas, inventions, and experiments that significantly changed humanity's understanding of the modern science known as chemistry, defined as the scientific study of the composition of matter and of its interactions.

  8. History of chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_chemistry

    The protoscience of chemistry, and alchemy, was unsuccessful in explaining the nature of matter and its transformations. However, by performing experiments and recording the results, alchemists set the stage for modern chemistry. The history of chemistry is intertwined with the history of thermodynamics, especially through the work of Willard ...

  9. All of this applies to spaces and BC/BCE labels in all of the patterns. Examples: 100 BC, 100 B.C, 100 BCE, 100 BC, etc. Year ranges If there is a range of years BC, convertors should recognise both numbers as years BC. The range may have different kinds of dashes in the middle. On either side of the dash there may be up to one space.
