"Perfect Symmetry"

At 8:02 pm on February 20 this year will be an historic moment in time. It
will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but
at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has
not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again.

As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time will,
for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be
more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.

This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of
the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it is an event
which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never
be repeated.

The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long
before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock at 10.01am on
January 10, 1001 (10:01, 10/01, 1001) And because the clock only goes up to
23.59, it is something that will never happen again.
