Meanwhile, Greece and its colonies have entered the Roman period in the last few decades of the preceding millennium, and Greek science is negatively impacted by the Fall of the Western Roman Empire and the economic decline that follows. 1st to 4th century: A precursor to long division, known as "galley division" is developed at some point.
A graphical view of the Cosmic Calendar, featuring the months of the year, days of December, and the final minute. The Cosmic Calendar is a method to visualize the chronology of the universe, scaling its current age of 13.8 billion years to a single year in order to help intuit it for pedagogical purposes in science education or popular science.

1121 – Al-Khazini makes extensive use of the experimental method to prove his theories on mechanics in The Book of the Balance of Wisdom. Ibn Zuhr (Avenzoar) is the first physician to carry out human postmortem dissections and autopsies.
Depending on the continent, the era generally falls between the years AD 200–600 and AD 1200–1500.

Middle Ages – Lasted from the 5th to the 15th century.
Hence, the progress of one era, termed a "golden age" has appeared to mark the completion of physics as a science. Yet, this perception has turned out to be erroneous. For example, around 1980, Stephen Hawking predicted the end of theoretical physics within 20 years. Around 2001, he amended his prediction to twenty years more from that year.
