The Unix timestamp started on 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 -- and that wasThursday.NullThe second before (i.e., 31 December, 1969 23:59:59:59 + 0000) was null,which was Wednesday. I take issue with this. The second before was -1 seconds from the epoch.is the absence of a value, so you can't get to null by simple arithmetic.I learntabout negative numbers from the Greeks. And no, I'm not going to comment on their current mathematical difficulties. Hmm. D'oh! But the point still stands: -1 !== null. -StuartWhat if we were to throw in quantum duality in here? Null and !Null at the same time
