Zero AD: The Birth of Christ

Lemme guess. He's a gay communist in this one.

Zero A.D. seems kind nonsensical, no? There is no year 0.

It’s a catchy title. No need to cherry pick every little thing.

Stephen Jay Gould and his exploration of "Year Zero" in his 1997 book, Questioning the Millennium: A Rationalist's Guide to a Precisely Arbitrary Countdown. In the book, Gould tackled the intense global debate of whether the new millennium officially began on January 1, 2000, or January 1, 2001. His analysis centers on the historical quirk that our modern calendar has no Year Zero.

The Monk's Math:
In the sixth century, a monk named Dionysius Exiguus set up the B.C./A.D. system to calculate the birth of Jesus.

Missing Concept:
Because Roman numerals were used and the concept of zero as a placeholder had not yet reached Western mathematics, he started the calendar at Year 1. The timeline moves directly from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D.

The Two Camps:
Ordinalists vs. CardinalistsGould divided the public debate over the milestone into two distinct psychological frameworks:

The Ordinalists (The 2001 Camp):
These purists argued that because there is no Year Zero, you must count a full 1,000 years for a millennium to finish. Therefore, the 1st century ended at the end of year 100, and the 2nd millennium did not officially conclude until December 31, 2000—making January 1, 2001, the true start of the new millennium.

The Cardinalists (The 2000 Camp):
These people focused on the psychological impact of the "odometer flip". Seeing the numbers change from 1999 to 2000 triggered a powerful cultural desire to celebrate on January 1, 2000.

Gould's Conclusion
Gould ultimately noted that while the Ordinalists are mathematically correct based on our flawed calendar, the Cardinalists won a decisive victory in pop culture. He viewed the entire debate as a fascinating example of how humans try to impose rigid mathematical rules onto fundamentally arbitrary, man-made divisions of time

Most likely didn't happen in the year

Zero AD

. Most historians figure the actual year of his birth is a few years off from the one the calendar is based on, but would be a HUGE pain in the arse to change.

It's Angel studios brah. Mormon owned company that is mostly cheesy religious based stuff.

They also did Young Washington though and quite a few people on this board swear it's a legit good movie and b/c of how hard so many went to bat for it I'm going to give it a chance once it hits a streaming service I sub to.
