If you turn 21 today, you can celebrate more than just your B次元官网网址渃hampagne birthday.B次元官网网址�
Jan. 21 is the 21st day, of the 21st year of the 21st century B次元官网网址� maybe.
If you subscribe to the belief that the calendar began with year 1 B次元官网网址� then 2001 was the first day of the new century and today marks the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
If however, 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 B次元官网网址� making 2021 the 22nd year of this century.
Either way, people took to social media Thursday to share their incredulity at the rare alignment of numbers.
The next time a milestone of this kind comes around? January 22, 2122. This rare numeric moment comes at a unique moment in history B次元官网网址� notably the COVID-19 pandemic and the first full day for new U.S. President Joe Biden.
