quote:I get it, but when people refer to decades, they typically do so by saying the 80s or 90's. Those references start with the 1980-1989, etc.
The first decade AD was the years 1-10. The second decade was 11-20. Likewise, 2020 is the last year of this decade. 2021 will be the first year of the next decade.
It's a social reference, not something that is otherwise significant.

Still waiting for mathematical proof that we should start at year zero. A calendar is just man made conception of Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun.
Theoretically it is possible to start at year zero but we can't observe it.
Thus back to my original question. Zero the very first decade didn't begin until after some unit of measurement that > zero.
Thinkaboudit. Cheers. It's science.
