    Default Help Me Settle an Office Debate

    I am just going to simply ask the question so that I do not portray any bias.


    Are we in the 21st or 22nd year of the new Millennium?

    I would say we are in the 21st of the current millennium.

    When the current numbering system was created I doubt they said, let's do this...we will have a time period BC and a time period that follows that AND we will have one year in between those two which we will call year ZERO. Without a year zero, the year 2000 is the final year in its millennium which means that year 2001 was the first year of the current millennium.

    ^That was entirely nonsense. It doesn't matter who "created" what. Everyone starts counting at zero, and it goes up from there. When you start counting at zero, two millenniums (1000 each) takes us to 1999. Add 22 and that takes us to 2021.

    If zero didn't exist then you're just getting rid of a year. 10.1 is still in the tens. 20.2 is still in the twenties. 21.2 is into the second integer past 20.

    The problem with your reasoning is that when the current year system was created, it, in fact, did not start with zero. The first year was not 0 AD or 0 BC, it was year 1 AD. The current timeline does this

    ...
    3BC
    2BC
    1BC
    1AD
    2AD
    ...
    2021AD

    If we agree that a millennium is a time frame of 1000 years then year 1000 was the one thousandth year AD which mean year 2000 was the final year of its millennium. Which means the 3rd AD millennium actually started in the year 2001 which means 2021 is in fact, the 21st year of the millennium.

    Let's try this...count your fingers. Was your first finger number 0 or number 1?


    *With all of this said, this is all just created stuff since there is no actual data tracking these numbers and the amount of years is likely actually wrong (even more so considering JC was likely born somewhere between 4 and 6 BC).

    We are in the 21st century until the calender turn to the year 2100. Then we're in the 22nd century.

    We are in the 22nd year I think. It depends on if you consider the very first year ever as year one or year zero. If you believe the first year was recorded as year 0, then 2,000 years had passed at the end of 1999 and a new century started in 2000 – making 2021 the 22nd year of this century. I don't think I would have started a calendar with year 0.

    It's all how you interpret that first year.

    This is correct, there is no year 0, that point in the timeline is a singularity with years 1BCE and 1AD on either side so the 1st millennium goes from year 1-1000, and the 2nd millennium from 1001-2000. Therefore we are in the 21st year of the 3rd millennium.

    Think of it this way.

    You just got a new very wordy book and are going to read 1000 pages per day. The first day you read your 1000 pages. What's the first page that you will read tomorrow, page 1000 or page 1001?

    Thank you everyone for answering.

    1) With the help of this forum and some serious coffee-break discussions we determined that:

    - The 1st Century began in AD 1 and not in 0
    - Thus each century begins at 1 and goes to 100 (ie 1-100, 101-200) - As per google https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C...4dUDCA0&uact=5

    - A larger percentage of the population believe that the current century and millenium began on January 1, 2000 which was the root of the discussion.

    2) We also came to determine that there is a discrepancy in how people determine the phrase 'We are in the 21st year'

    - Some people belive that you are in your 21st year when you are 21 years old and that the time that you are 21 is your 21st year

    - Others believe that when you are 21 years old and one day... you are in your 22nd year.... based on the first 365 days of your life being your first year and cumulating in your first birthday.
