Although most people believe that the concept of 'symmetrical time' was introduced in 2005, it is in fact much older than that.

 

It was mentioned for the first time in a manuscript written in 1251 by a monk called Otto. Originally, 'symmetrical time' referred to the years 1000 and 2000 AD, which in Roman numerals would be perfectly symmetrical: M and MM respectively. In mediaeval times already, many projected their messianic hopes and apocalyptic fears onto these years. Looking back on the year 1000, Otto concluded that there had been no ground for these emotional responses. He predicted that nothing special would happen in the year 2000 either (criticizing those who feared the coming of an 'insectum millennii'). Rather than to get carried away by irrational expectations, people should be steadfast ('constant') and use their common sense, according to Otto.

 

Otto's writing was rediscovered in 1521 by a Humanist scholar who roamed the libraries of abbeys and convents in search for classical texts. He was surprised by Otto's plea for steadfastness, so very similar to the 'constantia' that was advocated by contemporary Neo-Stoics. Otto's manuscript was subsequently published in print, but no copies of that edition have been preserved.

 

Thus, Otto's manuscript and his views on symmetrical time were forgotten. A similar concept though was devised in 2005, this time not based on Roman numerals but on digital numbers. Returning from a voyage to Tahiti, Anna Imumi from Ohio realized that there were seven moments in a day when the time indicated on her watch was perfectly symmetrical. According to her, these moments were ideally suited for looking in a mirror or for engaging in a dialogue with someone who holds an opposite opinion. Her blog on this topic attracted a lot of attention, with a record number of 11,011 visitors on 11:11h on November 11, 2005. As a result, her site crashed and it has not been operational since.
