ecoli Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I like this quote from the article: "This reflects the beauty of mathematics. If I'm awake and I remember, I'll diligently watch that second tick by. We'll have an overnight team here and we'll make sure to tell them to watch the clock. "It's a bit of fun but it's also a reflection that in this digital age we can all measure time a lot more accurately than we could have when this kind of sequence happened in previous centuries."

5614 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 It's 12hrs 34mins 56sec twice a day every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil9327 Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 It's 12hrs 34mins 56sec twice a day every day! Yes good point. So we'll look forward to: 12hrs 34mins 56sec on the 7th August (or 8th July) 2090 to use up all the digits. But I expect I'll be well dead by then...
