Hey Anti-Einstein, 1900 was the first year of the 20th century! Just like 2000 was the first year of the new millenium!

Where did you get your education anyway? Off the back of a box of Coco-Pops?

NSWAFL ... care to comment ?

something ?

anything ?

anything at all ?

The 1st Century began with the year 0. Also known as 1 BC.

1900 is the first year of the 20th century, Dave. Parra is yet to provide proof of payments in the 19th century.

Explanation #1

Were you 1 year old the day you were born? Of course not. You did not become 1 year old until the end of your first year.

The calendar is very similar with one exception, it started with the year 1. There was no year 0. Therefore, the first year has not been completed until the end of the year 1, which would be on December 31, 0001.

A decade is a group of 10 years. The decade is not finished until the end of the 10th year. Therefore, the first decade would have ended on December 31, 0010. The 2nd decade started on January 1, 0011.

heres my proof


please provide your proof of the gregorian or roman calendars starting in year 0.. or 1BC
or Xman will delete all your posts relating to this
& your barbs at Parra

K ?

I'll give you a practical example. If the new millenium (according to you) began on January 1, 2001 - why did we made such a big fuss over January 1, 2000? Why do we call the 90's the decade from 1990 to 1999 and it doesn't include 2000?

The first decade of the 21st century began on January 1, 2000 and finished on December 31, 2009. That is a ten year period, AKA a decade. Birthdays start at 0. You aren't 1 until your first birthday one year later. That first year is your personal year 0.

I will correct myself on one thing though - a year is missing. Year 0. Mathematically it is impossible to go from 1 BC to 1 AD. There has to be a year in between otherwise it just doesn't add up.

proof .. not your ramblings ..... proof of the first year of the 1st century starting at 0

now ..............

Says who ? Because nobody writes it that way .
They'd write it as in the year of the birth of J.C.
It doesn't matter how they calculated the start of the calender we're talking about a numbering system and a numbering system always refers to zero as the first number.
When was J.C. born ? Currently they think about 4 B.C.

if something starts ... anything

does it start in the year 0

do we call the 2nd year of competing for the West Coast Eagles in 1988
or the Canberra Raiders in 1983

Year ONE .....

No its year TWO

so what was their first year called


end of debate

Nice one!

When you were born did you start at one? No. You started at zero! It might have been your first year, but you didn't start at one.

I don't think this debate is simple, or confined to our forum.

The common Western calendar, i.e. the Gregorian calendar, has been defined with counting origin 1. Thus each period of 1,000 years concludes with a year number with three zeroes, e.g. the first thousand years in the Western calendar included the year 1000. However, there are two viewpoints about how millennia should be thought of in practice, one which relies on the formal operation of the calendar and one which appeals to other notions that attract popular sentiment.

Nice one!

When you were born did you start at one? No. You started at zero! It might have been your first year, but you didn't start at one.

& it explains this quite well
the first 365 days of the first year of the first century was not called year zero

it was called year one
then you count each .. 365 days .. the aniversary of a point in time .. after that to get to the next year

hence
the first year of the next century .. the 2nd Century .. was 101
not 100 as it was the last year of the first century

get educated ... its called maths
they do teach that in vicderpia don't they ?

It's a matter of terminology, not maths

The issue of the presence of a Year 0 however IS maths! To get to one you HAVE to start at zero. The number exists. What, there's no such thing is 0.5?
