time/history

[zErO]

Heres a useless piece of information!!!

I was reading an article from a science enquirer, which stated that digital clocks will be in sync with the date line today for the second time in history.

A digital clock usually reads in 24hr time....so at 20:02 (8:02 pm)

they will be exactly be in sync with todays date and year.

so at 20:02 on the 20th day February (20.02) in the year 2002 everything will be in sync. This has happened only once before...so we are now a part of history!!!

it was an english magazine so I didnt really put the figure together at first regarding the (20.02) day/mth??

The first time it happened was at 10:01am on 10th January 1001

yes americans put the date the wrong way round,. its confusing and silly. you dont write December 25th 2002, so why do 12/25/02 ??

25th [b:84eb5fb19f]OF[/b:84eb5fb19f] December 2002 = 25/12/02

Yes we do Jack.

For example, if i were to write an essay today, in the to left corner of the page i would write, Febuary 20th, 2002......DUH

But of course that is how you write it. Today is:

Feb. 20, 2002 .... so why wouldn't I write that in short hand..

2....20..2002 ----> or 2/20/2002 --->2/20/02

You Brits kill me...... :D

Bah, it's happened before, what about this date:

January 20, 2001 at approximatly 20:01

Or if we're allowed to do it Month/Day, and not Day/Month, how about this:

October 10, 1010, at approximatly 10:10

Or

October 21, 1021 at approximatly 10:21.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like this has happened many many times before. Which magaziene was it? Unless it was Scientific American, they may have no clue what they're talking about.

[b:0aeef9e9c3] XxMaNsOnX [/b:0aeef9e9c3] - Im not a scientist so I dont really think much about these kinds of things, check the link that [b:0aeef9e9c3]Reverend[/b:0aeef9e9c3] posted and ask them there

I dont know how they work this out and it was taken from a English science magazine, so to me the date should read mm/dd(02/20), although your query sounds legit to me

This one works which ever way round you write the day and month.

11 minutes past 11am on the 11th of November in the year 1111:

time 11:11 - date 11/11 - year 1111

This one works which ever way round you write the day and month.

00 minutes past 00am on the 00th of (no calendar then) in the year 0000

Does that fit the bill?

LOL

B.B:D lol

youve got the hang of it:D

[FthrJACK]

writting it down the way you do is daft.. al the numbers are at one side wich could be confusing

[Drewdatrip]

Me and my girfriend had this same conversation last nite. It seems that it has happened more then twise, but as i read through the article, i think the reason why it has only happened twise, is because the front and back of the armytime,date and year have to mirror each other. for example.[b:062f26d87b]20:02[/b:062f26d87b] the first part(20) is the oposite of the latter part(02). this also works for [b:062f26d87b]10:01[/b:062f26d87b]. the numbers have to switch order, and match both the date and year. [b:062f26d87b]Ex. AB:BA[/b:062f26d87b]

The reason why this cannot continue to happen it beacaue Army time doesnt gopast 24:00........ and thus will never happen in again.

sounds like a good way of looking at it, I guess thats how they figured it

Go Drewdatrip:cool:

[LS_Dragons]

.... in about 100 years. Guess we won't be around to see it, but won't 9:12 PM on the 21st day of December in the year 2112 do it:

21:12 21.12.2112

hehehehe LS
