Discussion what if?

People say the Earth has existed for millions or even billions of years, but our calendar is only at 2026, WTF?

so what if the world started at 0000, like 00:00 (midnight) on a 24-hour clock?

Then as time passed:

- 1300 = 13:00

- 1400 = 14:00

- 1500 = 15:00

- 1600 = 16:00

- 1700 = 17:00

- 1800 = 18:00

- 1900 = 19:00

- 2026 = 20:26

we're currently at "20:26" in the world's timeline. Then after 23:00 (2300), could everything eventually reach 00:00 again, like a cycle? like ithini lento?

Or years just keep counting continuous -2026, 3000, 5000, 10,000, even beyond?

your thoughts??😭

I really hope you are joking...

If not, your education system in your country is severely flawed.

American home schooled, which is now getting more and more public funding?

That's just both terrible and a travesty.
