The last decade was the 90's, so I am wondering what the common name or names would be for this decade spanning 2000-2009.  In 14 years we will have the 20's, but as for the next few years, how do we refer to our current time and place.  I have heard something in reference to the "auts," meaning zero.

I have heard it as oughts. Which is the term for zeros.\nIt's a tough one to name, along with the tens. All the other decades are easy.\nI suppose the tens decade might work, but that's not that great. How about the first decade then the second? Then happily we go into the thirties.

millennium\n\nA millennium is a period of time, equal to one thousand years (from Latin mille, thousand, and annum, year). The term may implicitly refer to calendar millennia; periods tied numerically to a particular dating system, specifically ones that begin at the starting (initial reference) point of the calendar in question (typically the year 0 or the year 1) or in later years which are whole number multiples of a thousand years after it. This concept is the one primarily discussed in this article.\n\nThe term can also refer to an interval of time beginning on any date. Frequently in the latter case (and sometimes also in the former) it may have religious or theological implications (see Millenarianism). Especially in religious usage such an interval may be interpreted less precisely, being not necessarily exactly 1,000 years long.

The best decade is always going to be the decade you grew up in. Mine was between the 80's and 90's because this when I was growing up. Many songs of this era are important to me because they were my companions during my awkward years. I'm sure some out there know what I'm talking about.

Same thing I think about 6/6 in the 6th century or 6/6/1006.They are just numbers that are man made and represent our calender.Nothing more.

they would say its about time.  its going to eventually happen, it alwasy does.  might be 50 years from now, might be 1000, but it will happen.

There's more than one way to look at it...\n\nFirst, "generation" doesnt always mean a 40 year generation but also means "race" or "people" Jesus may have meant the Hebrew race.\n\nSecond, He says "Will see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom" John saw this in the Revelation.\n\nIn the span of eternity, is a couple thousand years a short time or long? "Quickly" is relative.

Erm... not sure.\n\nA decade is a span of 10 years.\n\nAn octave is a musical term for a group or stanza of 8 lines (8 notes).

Twenty-four-hour days, originated from ancient Egyptian sundials that divided the daylight into 12 equal segments. Sixty-minute hours and 60-second minutes are are from the ancient Mesopotamian sexigesimal numbering system, or base 60.\n     after the French Revolution the new government implemented  a decimal time system, or base ten. The french idea never took root and so we still have what we have today.\n \nneat question thanks for asking\n\npeace to you,\n\nBondservant

same reason the U.S. won't change measuring systems. We like what we know. Someone once told me that the U.S. and Sri Lanka are the only countries that use our measuring system, yet it appears on nearly everything. As long as you coddle us and let us have our way we'll keep doing it.\n\nI'd never seen yyyy-mm-dd before. We use the mm/dd/yy system in the US and I'd seen dd/mm/yy in my Spanish classes (which was very confusing the first time I saw it because it was talking about october 11 which I read as november 10.)

I think we were at "THE THOUSAND YEARS" but I don't know how long would this "thousand years" would last. Its at Revelation 20:1-6\n\nI think that all that's been said in the Revelation prior to the chapter 20 (that's upto chapter 19) were all pertained to the struggle of the Christianity. Everything that is written is symbolic, now that is the problem, I don't have much idea what those symbols means. But I know that the number 666 or the beast pertains to Emperor Nero. Since the "whole world" mention in Revelation is the world/nations itself known by the Christians at that time. All I know that He is coming very soon. So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!

American History Timeline:\n\nTimeline of the Twentieth Century\n\nLinks to History Timelnes\n\nYou haven't said what kind of timeline you are looking for. If these are not helpful, I suggest you use the phrase "20th Century" instead of 1900-2000 followed by the topic and lastly the word timeline. You are more likely to get a result that way.

Why would 2006 have any more meaning than 1906? or 1806, 1706....

Time now, is a universal thing.  It would be a pain to convert different time measurements.\n\nBack then when clocks and wristwatches weren't invented yet, different civilizations had different ways of telling time because of the lack of world-wide communication like we have now.  With today's technology it is easy to have a universal system for time.

1991, I believe, but it has been updated, clarified, and amended since then.\n\nGoogle the entire term for more info.
