Gotta ask you about the quote on your profile (not that I'm stalking you or anything).
"2021 means we are closer to 2050 than we are to 2000."
Mathematically, we're still closer to 2000 (21+ years away) than we are 2050 (28+ years away).
However, we're closer to 2050 (or any other year in the future) than we are to 2000 (or any other year in the past) because we cannot go back in time, only forward.
Which one did you mean?
