Today’s date – 02/02/2020 – is a palindrome.
That means it’s the same when read backwards and forwards.
But it’s not just any old palindrome.
It’s 02/02/2020 in both the MM/DD/YYYY format and the DD/MM/YYYY format.
Palindrome comes from the Greek works “palin” meaning “again, back” and “dromos” meaning “running,” according to Dictionary.com
It’s 02/02/2020 in both the MM/DD/YYYY format and the DD/MM/YYYY format.
This is the only time such a date will happen this century, CNN reports.
Even a handful of films are written and shot as a palindrome. For example, French Canadian film director, writer, and producer Denis Villeneuve’s (‘Blade Runner 2049’) 2016 American science fiction drama/mystery film ‘Arrival’ is told in this manner.
The previous palindrome date in all formats happened nine hundred and nine years ago on 11/11/1111!
There won’t be another one for another one hundred and one years on 12/12/2121.
