The date of the 21 st Century
Reader, hello!
The following sets out an explanation (or proof - as you
want), why the early 21 st century should be considered as
January 1, 2001 (two thousand one) year.
Who is this text: people who are somehow wrongly believe
that the twenty-first century (as well as the third millennium)
begins 01.01.2000.
When I had enough to carry out this explanation in a
personal manner, I made it in a separate document. IMHO any
mentally Healthy people have carefully read the following type
can Yet finally sort out the issue. Islyucheniem are people
with extremely painful self-esteem, which simply will not delve
into the meaning of written material.
1. On the calendar dates and ages.
Date is a means of specifying days, months and years since
some generally agreed to date.
Well, there's no questions there, I hope:)
Written to date in our country as a
. .
<Year>
For example, 01/14/1905 - is the 14th January, one thousand
nine hundred and fifth year.
Pay attention to the decline of numbers. Not "one thousand
nine hundred five years, "namely" one thousand nine hundred and
fifth year. "This date is not indicates that the origin was
1905 years. None. This date LITERALLY said that since the
beginning of the reference passed in 1904, and is now attending
(but not yet completed) 1905 st - the current year, January of
this is 1905 - January, just not over yet and that now runs the
14th day of this same January. And gone with the origin in
1904, and 13 full days (the 14th day has not passed).
I beg you, sir, (ladies?) One more time to carefully read
the paragraph above.
You wonder why? Look further, everything will be clear.
Consider the very moment of a hypothetical birth from which
accepted ischilyat days and years of the New Era.
To make life more comfortable you can imagine drawing the
line. The line starts the number 0 - that is the origin, but
once same for the 0 mark begins the very first centimeter ruler
and lasts up to a mark 1, for which will begin the second
centimeter.
And with dates. The first day the morning after the birth of
Christ was the first day of the first month of the first year
of a new era. And despite the fact that "age" of Christ was
essentially zero, began the same _pervyy_ day. _Pervogo_ Month.
_Pervogo_ Year. In the standard format is written as 01.01.0001.
Today, we now have 26/11/1999, 26 November 1999, the year
that said that since the benchmark was 1998 years, 10 months
and 25 days. A one thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years will
pass from the time frame when the current end of 1999 the first
year, then there at the end of 12/31/1999 - that is, at the
onset (or onset) of 2000.
I hope that all of the above clear? Well, with dates
understood.
2. Century and millennium.
When you begin a new century? Generally a new century? The
new century begins, when my old age. If we speak exact - when
will the last day of the last month the last year of old age.
Of course, the third millennium will begin when polnstyu
will be two thousand years from the date of reference, that is,
when will the two thousandth year of the birth of Christ, that
is the last day of the 2000-th year. And the last day of 2000
will be on December 31, that is in fact the beginning of 2001.
So the new 21st century and the new third millennium will
begin on the night of January 1 of 2001.
Actually, as required.

Chitael, if you want me to argue it is better to try to
argue at least one argument in the chain of evidence, and I
already said everything. Dixi.
