Armin G.: Ein historischer Moment

Beitrag lesen

Tach auch,

gerade noch rechtzeitig, um den Moment nicht zu verpassen:

Nun ja, Du hast noch eine Gelegenheit in 110 Jahren...

Believe it or not, 8.02pm on February 20 this year will be an historic moment in time.

Well, it's not _that_ historic...

It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again.

Wrong. See below.

As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002
The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock at 10.01am on January 10, 1001.

Wrong again. 11:11, 11/11, 1111

And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will NEVER happen again.

Still wrong. 21:12, 21/12, 2112 is exactly the same symmetry.

Also genießt die 60 Sekunden heute abend ;-)

Noe, ich warte lieber noch 110 Jahre. Ach ja, schau mal bei Jason Kottke vorbei, da steht das was ich oben beschrieben habe: http://www.kottke.org/notes/0202.html#020218

Gruss,
