Ngelixa besisenza uluhlu kunye neememes kunye neefoto ezihonjisiweyo zonke zibhiyozela ukuphela kweminyaka elishumi, kubonakala ngathi kukho impikiswano malunga ukuba namhlanje ngenene liphela eli shumi leminyaka lishiyiweyo .
Ngokwangoku kutsha nje kuvavanyo lwabantu abadala abangaphezu kwe-13,000 Nguwe , Kuphela yi-64% yabaphenduli ababelana ngobulumko obuqhelekileyo bokuba ishumi leminyaka liphela namhlanje kwaye ishumi leminyaka elitsha liqala ngomso, nge-1 kaJanuwari 2020. Inani elincinci le-17% licinga ukuba liqala unyaka ukusukela ngomso kwaye i-19% ayazi nje.
Ngaba oku kuyakothusa? Hayi thina, kuba besiphantsi kwabantu abaphikisanayo ngayo malunga nokukhankanywa kwethu okwethutyana, kodwa siza kuyicacisa impikiswano nokuba kunjalo: Umbono kukuba ukususela kwiXesha Eliqhelekileyo (khumbula sisebenzisa, i-CE, hayi i-AD kule mihla) iqala kunyaka we-0, kwaye oku kufanele ukuba kubalwe amashumi eminyaka ukusuka kwi-1 t0 10 hayi u-0-9.
Ukuthetha ne-NPR ngalo mbandela, iingcali ezinje ngoRick Fienberg weAmerican Astronomical Societyide nabambalwa apha: Imbali icacile: Kuba bekungekho Zero Yonyaka, ishumi leminyaka lokuqala lexesha eliqhelekileyo (i-CE okanye i-AD) yayiyiminyaka ye-1 ukuya kwi-10, ishumi lesibini leminyaka yayili-11 ukuya kuma-20, kwaye elishumi elilandelayo liza kuba yiminyaka engama-2021 ukuya kowama-2030.
Oku kuvakala ngokwezibalo, kodwa kuyaphungula ukuba amashumi eminyaka ayingombandela wezibalo, ngumba wokwahlula amaxesha nenkcubeko. Sithetha malunga nee-80s okanye ii-60s okanye… nokuba yintoni le sisihogo siyibizayo kwishumi leminyaka lokuqala leminyaka. Aughts? Amawaka amabini? Noba yintoni. Xa kukho idijithi entsha yesithathu kumhla, oko kukuthi xa sibiza ishumi leminyaka elitsha.
Kwaye ngenene, konke oku kuyangqubana? Kutheni le nto uphela konyaka? Akukho nto ibalulekileyo kuyo. Kwaye ngelixa silapha! Yintoni malunga nenyani yokuba i-Septem-, Octo-, Novem- kunye neDecem-ber zithetha inyanga yesixhenxe, yesibhozo, yethoba neyeshumi?
Njengakwezinto ezininzi, sinetyala konke oku kumaRoma. NguJulius Caesar othathe isigqibo sokuba unyaka omtsha uqale ngoJanuwari kwaza kwalandela uAgasto Cesar owatyhala iinyanga ezimbini ezongezelelweyo embindini wonyaka wenza yonke into emva kukaJulayi (ogama linguJulius Ceasar) kunye no-Agasti (qikelela ukuba ngubani owathiywa igama) ngababini. Kodwa zonke iintlobo zeenkokheli zijijile ngekhalenda.
Unyaka oMtsha uqala ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo kubantu abahlukeneyo kunye neenkcubeko kuba inyanzelekile ukuba ikhethe. Ezinye iinkonzo kunye namazwe zisebenzisa iikhalenda zenyanga. Kwixesha lobumnyama, bekukho oNyaka oMtsha owahlukileyo konke, ukusukela nge-25 kaMatshi ukuya kwiKrisimesi. Izinto zaxakaniseka kangangokuba ngo-1582 yonke into yayicinyiwe malunga neentsuku ezilishumi kwaye yayinguPopu Gregory owayeyila ikhalenda kaGregory esiyisebenzisayo ngoku. Waqulunqa unyaka wokutsiba kwaye wabuyisela usuku loNyaka oMtsha ukuba lube ngoJanuwari 1 ngokusemthethweni.
Inqaku kukuba bubudenge ukuphikisana malunga nokuqala kweshumi. Siya kwi-20s kwikhalenda kwaye kwanele. Inyaniso yokuba asinakuvumelana koku ngomnye umqondiso wamaxesha, kodwa mhlawumbi yinto esinokuyishiya kulutsha. Oko kunye nokuvuka kwakhona kwe-fascism.
