Only then in fact was payment for assembly attendance, the central event of democracy ( Similarly for the period before the Persian wars, but for the very early democracy the sources are very meagre and it can be thought of as being in an embryonic state ).

Fleming also discovered very early that bacteria developed antibiotic resistance whenever too little penicillin was used or when it was used for too short a period.

His ' matrix divisor ' ( vector bundle avant la lettre ) Riemann – Roch theorem from 1938 was a very early anticipation of later ideas such as moduli spaces of bundles.

Most Protestants deny the need for this type of continuity and the historical claims involved have been severely questioned ; Eric Jay comments that the account given of the emergence of the episcopate in chapter III of Lumen Gentium " is very sketchy, and many ambiguities in the early history of the Christian ministry are passed over " Their reasons are given in detail below.

The excess of baryons over antibaryons in the present universe is thought to be due to non-conservation of baryon number in the very early universe, though this is not well understood.

The very early universe is said to have been ' radiation dominated ' and as such radiation controlled the deceleration of expansion.

Particle physics is important to the behavior of the early universe, since the early universe was so hot that the average energy density was very high.

Both the problems of baryogenesis and cosmic inflation are very closely related to particle physics, and their resolution might come from high energy theory and experiment, rather than through observations of the universe.

The abundance of elements in Earth's crust differs from those in the universe ( and also the Sun and heavy planets like Jupiter ) mainly in selective loss of the very lightest elements ( hydrogen and helium ) and also volatile neon, carbon, nitrogen and sulfur, as a result of solar heating in the early formation of the solar system.

The glow is very nearly uniform in all directions, but the tiny remaining variations show a very specific pattern equal to that expected of a fairly uniformly distributed hot gas that has expanded to the current size of the universe.

They have been measured in detail, and match what would be expected if small thermal variations, generated by quantum fluctuations of matter in a very tiny space, had expanded to the size of the observable universe we see today.

In lay terms, there is a very large — perhaps infinite — number of universes, and everything that could possibly have happened in our past, but did not, has occurred in the past of some other universe or universes.

MWI's main conclusion is that the universe ( or multiverse in this context ) is composed of a quantum superposition of very many, possibly even non-denumerably infinitely many, increasingly divergent, non-communicating parallel universes or quantum worlds.

The diverse pantheon ranged from gods with vital roles in the universe to minor deities or " demons " with very limited or localized functions.

The age of the universe and its vast number of stars suggest that unless the Earth is very atypical, extraterrestrial life should be common.

The universe was very violent in its early epochs, and galaxies grew quickly, evolving by accretion of smaller mass galaxies.

This left the early universe with a very similar ratio of hydrogen / helium as is observed today ( 3 parts hydrogen to 1 part helium-4 by mass ), with nearly all the neutrons in the universe trapped in helium-4.

This brings us very near to those philosophical systems which regard the universe as a thought in the mind of its Creator, thereby reducing all discussion of material creation to futility.
