The turn of the century, or to be more precise, the two decades preceeding and following it, marks a great change in the history of early English scholarship.

The primary reason for the abandonment of the `` shore occupied by '' thesis has been the assimilation and accumulation of archaeological evidence, the most striking feature of early English studies in this century.

That is, there was no trace of Anglo-Saxons in Britain as early as the late third century, to which time the archaeological evidence for the erection of the Saxon Shore forts was beginning to point.

There is, of course, nothing new about dystopias, for they belong to a literary tradition which, including also the closely related satiric utopias, stretches from at least as far back as the eighteenth century and Swift's Gulliver's Travels to the twentieth century and Zamiatin's We, Capek's War With The Newts, Huxley's Brave New World, E. M. Forster's `` The Machine Stops '', C. S.

In these respects the vases of the early eighth century represent a culmination of earlier lines of progress.

Secondly, to find a learned diversion and a pleasing joke in More's account of the stupid brutalities of early sixteenth century wars, of the anguish of the poor and dispossessed, of the insolence and cruelty of the rich and powerful requires a callousness toward suffering and sin that would be surprising in a moral imbecile and most surprising in More himself.

While women had always attended ball games in small numbers ( it was the part of a `` dead game sport '' in the early years of the twentieth century to be taken out to the ball park and to root, root, root for the home team ), they had often sat in patient martyrdom, unable even to read the scoreboard, which sometimes seemed to indicate that one team led another by a score of three hundred and eighty to one hundred and fifty-one.

The discovery that movies are a form of fiction was made in the early years of this century and it was made chiefly by two men, a French magician, Georges Melies, and an American employee of Edison, Edwin S. Porter.

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe.

The core ideas of the Big Bang — the expansion, the early hot state, the formation of helium, and the formation of galaxies — are derived from many observations that are independent from any cosmological model ; these include the abundance of light elements, the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure, and the Hubble diagram for Type Ia supernovae.

This singularity is sometimes called " the Big Bang ", but the term can also refer to the early hot, dense phase itself, which can be considered the " birth " of our Universe.

Inflation and baryogenesis remain more speculative features of current Big Bang models: they explain important features of the early universe, but could be replaced by alternative ideas without affecting the rest of the theory.

The distinction between baryonic and non-baryonic matter is important in cosmology, because Big Bang nucleosynthesis models set tight constraints on the amount of baryonic matter present in the early universe.

In the early 1970s, however, the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau ( now NYC & Company, the official marketing and tourism organization for New York City ), under the leadership of its president, Charles Gillett, began promoting " the Big Apple " for the city.

The discovery of the cosmic microwave background in 1965 lent strong support to the Big Bang model, and since the precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background by the Cosmic Background Explorer in the early 1990s, few cosmologists have seriously proposed other theories of the origin and evolution of the cosmos.

While the early, hot universe appears to be well explained by the Big Bang from roughly 10 < sup >− 33 </ sup > seconds onwards, there are several problems.

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis is the theory of the formation of the elements in the early universe.

It was used for many years as a probe of physics at the time of the Big Bang, as the theory of Big Bang nucleosynthesis connects the abundances of primordial light elements with the features of the early universe.

During the early phases of the Big Bang, nucleosynthesis of hydrogen nuclei resulted in the production of hydrogen-1 ( protonium, < sup > 1 </ sup > H ) and helium-4 (< sup > 4 </ sup > He ), as well as a smaller amount of deuterium (< sup > 2 </ sup > H ) and very minuscule amounts ( on the order of 10 < sup >− 10 </ sup >) of lithium and beryllium.

Cosmic background radiation is well explained as radiation left over from an early stage in the development of the universe, and its discovery is considered a landmark test of the Big Bang model of the universe.

Unlike baryonic dark matter, nonbaryonic dark matter does not contribute to the formation of the elements in the early universe (" Big Bang nucleosynthesis ") and so its presence is revealed only via its gravitational attraction.

The Big Finish miniseries I, Davros, also features trial scenes, but mostly explores his early life.

Current cosmological models of the early Universe are based on the Big Bang theory.

Evidence for the early appearance of galaxies was found in 2006, when it was discovered that the galaxy IOK-1 has an unusually high redshift of 6. 96, corresponding to just 750 million years after the Big Bang and making it the most distant and primordial galaxy yet seen.

There was thus no time for significant carbon to be formed in the few minutes after the Big Bang, before the early expanding universe cooled to the temperature and pressure point where helium fusion to carbon was no longer possible.

In addition to Westerns and the science fiction films, three of his early major roles were in noir films, Kansas City Confidential of 1952, Vice Squad of 1953, and The Big Combo of 1955.

The difference is mostly in the era and styles covered -- Easy Listening is mostly older music done in the style of standards from the early 20th century ( typical artists include Johnny Mathis and Frank Sinatra ) combined with Big Band music and more modern performers in the same style such as Céline Dion and Josh Groban, while Adult Contemporary focuses more on newer pop music from the 1970s on.

Two entities founded in 1962: the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California and the Findhorn Foundation — an intentional community which continues to operate the Findhorn Ecovillage near Findhorn, Moray, Scotland — played an instrumental role during the early growth period of the New Age movement.

Additionally the team as a whole is occasionally referred to as the " Big Blue Wrecking Crew ", even though this moniker primarily and originally refers to the Giants defensive unit during the 80s and early 90s.

But ( neglecting quantum fluctuations in the early universe ) the Big Bang would also predict a uniform distribution of CBR, while the steady-state model predicts nothing about its distribution.

Golden age hip hop ( cited as either just the late ' 80s or the late 80s to early 90s ) was the time period where hip-hop lyricism went through its most drastic transformation – writer William Jelani Cobb says " in these golden years, a critical mass of mic prodigies were literally creating themselves and their art form at the same time " and Allmusic writes, " rhymers like PE's Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-One, and Rakim basically invented the complex wordplay and lyrical kung-fu of later hip-hop ”.
