A Sequence in Time

Or until May 4, when it happens in every other country in the world.

On the other side of the Atlantic, this will happen on May 4th, 2006.

These numbers only mean something when in this exact form.

What if you write it 1.2.3 4.5.2006, a more accurate representation of the date. ( the zero don't mean anything, they are zeros )

If we write it like this we must wait until 12.34.56 7.8.91011, to have consecutive whole numbers fill all measurement of time.

To universe, these number mean absolutely nothing. The universe starting counting billions of years ago.

I hope Design Observer will be around then to note it also.

We don't have to wait so long. In 2007 there will be 02:03:04 05:06:07. That works for me. In fact, so does this one, only a couple months away... 06:06:06 06:06:06. Kewl stuff, huh?

I think our brains are coded to find relationships like these. For example, something I noticed years ago was that when you're changing a $5 --

5 dollars =
4 ones
3 quarters
2 dimes
1 nickel

If you think about it too much or make it too scientific, you lose the poetry in it all.

For former House majority leader Tom DeLay . . .
Actuality is when the lighthouse is dark between flashes: it is the instant between the ticks of the watch: it is a void interval slipping forever through time: the rupture between past and future: the gap at the poles of the revolving magnetic field, infinitesimally small but ultimately real. It is the interchronic pause when nothing is happening. It is the void between events. Yet the instant of actuality is all we ever can know directly.
— George Kubler

The Neenstars had an exhibition in Eindhoven which had it's opening halfway through the exhibtion, at 4:44pm on 04/04/04. They also have a Neen theory called, you guessed it, 444. They all noticed how whenever they looked at there watch, they often happened to see 4:44. or 3:03, or 2:22 etc, "finding islands of sense in oceans of time". You can see the site here for more: link

Why is it that in nearly every single watch catalogue/advert the time is always 10 past 10?

Atilla: coz the watch likes to be in an ad and is smiling..

Atilla: You're joking, right?

Despite my half-practicing Jew, almost-atheist religious status, I'm just hoping to make it through June 6th of this year. Our office flooded the day Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" opened two years ago. Maybe we'll take a holiday and go see "The Omen" remake.

@Kartik: WTF? Dude, read what this website is about and you will find that the largest common denominator is not India.

Perhaps advertised watches are frequently showing 10:10:36 because at that time none of the hands are blocking the mini dials or date gauges found on many watches.

Gosh it seems like only yesterday it was 06:05:04 03/02/01...

Personally, any time is unique on its own. Don't believe in number.

look fr www.studiolda.com

01:02:03 04.05.06 hasn't happened yet (4th of May 2006...) what's all this yankee Month Day Year crap? That's just the wrong order.. is and always will be DAY then MONTH then YEAR.

lol
