The lonely protagonists of his drawings often contend with huge space-time expanses all around.
Of course, this makes a lot of sense, as we have common ancestry with other animals, and "humanness" didn't just appear, as a package, out of nothing; it was something that happened over time, vast expanses of time.
In two years' time, this expanse of silt-filled water and concrete will be transformed into Green Port Hull, a service hub for the giant wind farms being built in the North Sea.
The coincidence with the Egyptian 24 digits equaling 1 small cubit suggests what is altogether probable on the basis of the commercial history of the era, that the Greeks derived their measures partly from the Egyptians and partly from the Babylonians, probably via the Phoenicians who for a long time dominated vast expanses of the Mediterranean trade.

During the Pleistocene Epoch (i.e., about 2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago), the river valleys were covered several times by great expanses of ice.
And on mine, every time that serene expanse of rolling hills floats across my screen, bringing back memories of our one pilgrimage to Scotland some years ago, where we played the famous links, at times into the evening, finding ourselves crouched down, huddling under the protection of a shared umbrella, waiting for the squall to pass, long past dusk, nobody left on the course but us.
These large expanses of time can be grasped by allowing students to measure geological time by making a visual representation with string (e.g., one millimeter equals a certain number of years).
The diagram can thus be applied to relationships between all levels of the Linnaean hierarchy with the vertical coordinates representing potentially vast expanses of time, and the horizontal coordinates the degree of taxonomic divergence over time.
DeMarco points out that any increase in efficiency, in an organisation or an individual life, necessitates a trade-off: you get rid of unused expanses of time, but you also get rid of the benefits of that extra time.
Until that time, economists worked with expanses of figures arranged in rows and columns.
