Show Forgot Year Zero Whether the year ISXjO or the ye'ir 1931 A. D. is the two thousandth annl- versary of the year 70 B. C. Is a sub- ' ject that has been agitating the Brit- Ish press. The Times says 10."0 but t one of Its correspondents, Doctor I Glover by name, maintains that it Is 1931. The latter view Is based on the theory that, among other errors, historians his-torians have mistakenly omitted the year zero from their computation of time on an A. D. and B. C. basis. The system now Is that the morning after December 31 B. C. was January 1 A. D. But astronomers know better nnd insist on inserting a zero year at this point. Living Age. |
