At two minutes and three seconds after one-AM of April fifth, 2006, it will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. (It may already have been this time in your time zone.)

Just thought I'd point that out. This happens exactly once every 100 years. (It last happend in 1906.)
Those of you who belive in numberology may now go crazy with the nutbar theories and rampant speculation.

Woah.

Nice find there, Sarge.

My math professor was going on and on about that today... Still hasn't happened here in the 808 state!

Sarge · **Posted:** Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:16 am

Really? What did your math prof have to say?

Anydangway · **Posted:** Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:13 am

She was in the middle of explaining factorials or some crap like that, and just gasped and said: "You guys wanna know something cool? Tonight, well, tomorrow really... at 1:02 AM and three seconds... it'll be 01 02 03 04 05 06! It'll be the last time this happens in our lifetime... Unless you plan on living another hundred years."

She's cool. I'm still awaiting the moment over here... I'm trying, anyway. I only have one class tomorrow, and don't work till evening, so I can do it!

Well, I guess it could be, unless you're going by military time. You know, then it'd be 13:02:03 04/05/06.

That is pretty awesome though. Too bad I was alseep.

Ahh - this moment won't happen until the 4th of May on this side of the Atlantic. 'Cos we write our dates as "day/month/year".

I was awake for the second one. WOOT............ Yeah, I was staring at my watch....Welcome to my exciting life!

Well, although this is rather cool, in a another year they'll be a 02:03:04 05/06/07

Acekirby · **Posted:** Wed Apr 05, 2006 8:34 pm

Ah, that's cool.

Of course, I missed it because I didn't know what it was.

My math teacher told us about it yesterday.

Heh. I glanced at the clock at 1:05 this morning and thought "Oops. Oh well."

LOL, that's kind of cool.

Someone in school mentioned that it's 4/5/06 today, but I didn't really care. 01:02:03 04/05/06 is a bit cooler, though.

"Hey man, guess what?"

"What?"

"It's 04/05/06 today!!!!"

"Get a life, loser."

Heh. Anyway, I think it's pretty cool. I missed it, though.

Just a thought, but...

Why were you up at 1 in the morning?

putitinyourshoe · **Posted:** Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:15 pm

too bad its way past then now. alas. acekirby's post makes me think of this one time when i was playing fable on my roomies xbox on the weekend and my other roomate was up watching and talking to me. i looked at the clock suddenly and it was 4:30 am, whoops. crazy videogameland always gets a bit disorienting.

This thread reminds me of when one of my friends kept going on and on about how the world is going to end this year. 06:06:06 06/06/06.

I'm nervous now.

Don't worry. Too many 6's.

If you want extreme rareness in numeric convergence, you'll have to wait until 01:02:03, 04/05/6789 (in the year 6789).

There's also a bunch like that (only reversed) that occured (or will occur) in the 1st, 4th, 43rd, and 432nd centuries. But not the 4321st century, since there's no smaller number than zero.

Plus there is no 6:66.

I think the new Omen movie comes out on 06/06/06. So watch out.

Not only that, but that convergence happens every century. So why didn't the world end in the 19ths century at 06:06:06 06/06/1906?
I can do the same thing for 18 other centuries. Let me just check if the world ended in any of those other centuries.
:looks out the window:
Nope, we're still all here.

I just point these convergences ou becasue they're fun little mathimatical curiosities. they really have no signifigance ouside of pure mathemetics... and these aren't even all that mathematicly interesting!! they're justy very accesable to the layman, thats all.
I'd like to remind everyone that time is both fluid and completely analog. That is, time is a fundemental aspect of the fabric of reality. It cannot be divided into chunks, but we humans insist that our little clocks and calenders do just that. They don't; we just think they do.
Want proof of this? Ok, get on a rocket ship that moves at near of the speed of light. Even 1/4 of the speed of light will do. Ride it to the nearest star, and then back again. When you get back, your watch is going to be SOOOOOOOO very behind what the clock on the earth will be showing, even if yours is mechanicly/electronicly perfect. That's becasue of what Einsten called General Relitivity and Special Relitivity. This has beeen proved with extremely precise instruments that have been shown to loose time when they otherwise shouldn't have becasue of exposure to reletivistic paralax.
The point is: Time itself is but an illusion, and our measurement of time is but a facade. It's still fun playing with the numbers, though.
If you'll ecuse me, I'm gon try building a time machine with a Game Boy, a blender, and a wireless mouse.

Oh for god's sakes, I missed it, now I'm freakin going to have to live another 100 years to witness this event, so much for early retirement.

They think that? Wouldn't it have already ended on the year 666?!

Well, I was gonna wake up for it...but then I realized I didn't care.

No, I was just tired and burned out, so I figured I needed the sleep. Although pretty kool, not really a big deal to me. I'm not hitting myself for missing it.

Snailmail · **Posted:** Wed Apr 05, 2006 11:38 pm

I saw it happen after lunch. It doesn't only happen in the morning!

So the people who missed it, missed it twice in a day! Wow!
