I've been following this interesting thread for quite some time now and I'd like to express my opinion on it.
As you can see from the renamed subject title I find it odd that watch makers would not use 24:00:00. IMHO what should happen is once that point is achieved it would show it and then nearly immediately change to 00:00:00. I say nearly immediately because it's impossible for 2 bodies to occupy the same space at the same time, but it could be short enough that would give us the illusion that these 2 points are practically the same. One second is long enough for one to "experience" the "effect". Cheers, Marcus On Wed, 2 Jan 2002 07:22:36 Carter, Baron wrote: >There is no 24:00 hours.
