You'll setting up your biggest palindromes for the cosmic palindrome?
Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20 this year
will be an historic moment in time. 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.
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.
It is an event which has only ever happened once before, and
is something which will never be repeated.
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. And because the clock
only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will
never happen again. |
