Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

-George Orwell (1984)

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

- Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV)

In Boxwood House in England in 1774, using a magnifying glass aimed at a lump of mercuric oxide placed in an upside down glass container in a pool of mercury, he produced a gas he stated was "five or six times as good as common air." He called it "dephlogisticated air."

Later a French chemist named Antoine Lavoisier discovered its role in combustion. He named it oxygen in 1778.
