Questioning The
Millennium
£6.42
Stephen Jay Gould examines the phenomenon of the millennium. He looks at the origins of the term in the Biblical prophecies of the Book of Revelation
- if the six ages of man date from 4000BC, will 2000AD signify the end of time? Gould describes how the meaning of the word has evolved to its present day usage & tackles the debate over whether the millennium ends in 1999 or at the end of 2000AD. He also questions the human compulsion to impose our time-schemes on the universe & wonders how far can we go in applying our mathematical principles to nature. Existing methods of calculating time are all flawed to some extent & yet the complexities of lunar months, leap years, & the calculation of dates such as Easter, are part & parcel of our fascination with calendrics as both a hobby & an occupation.
