(...) But there existed a year before the year zero, didn't it? Or was there a time warp from 1 BC to the year 1 ? I don't think so. There was a year before 1, it just wasn't counted as zero. Just take 1 BC as year zero also, and you have one hundred years from 1 BC to 100. Our calendar doesn't say this? Who cares... Regards, M.Scheidl
