So where do year 0 belong then? To the century BC? In that
case I guess you would say that the number 0.1 belongs to
the interval (-9.999999..., 0.99999999...) !? I just don't
understand where this come from? I mean, year 0 is the
equivalent of 1000 and 2000. There's nothing special about
year 0 other than it appearing in two centuries (before and
after Christ, but that's because we're negating the steady
flow of time --- compare Fahrenheit to Kelvin...)

I think each century starts with 0, 1000, 2000 and so on...
