Its hard to define because lots of people have different definitions of midnight.

The majority of people will say that at 00:00:00 tonight will be Saturday midnight. It most certainly is not Sunday midnight because that makes no sense.
 
Surely if your that concerend you should ring the hospital and ask but I really can't see why its so hard to understand.

Syphs missus.

If you look back to post 86, i already have, i think it got missed in the rush :D
 
Saturday midnight is the second after 23:59:59 on a saturday.

How do you work that out?

A second after 23:59:59 and the first second of Sunday will have started already.

Even if you can't see it on your watch face, a more accurate means of measuring time would show that the first second of Sunday had already begun...

whether it's 00:00:00 and a nanosecond, or

00:00:00 and a Yoctosecond, or a attosecond.

I kind of got bored reading all the ridiculous arguements. All the people I know would take midnight sunday and at the end of sunday evening, I have never heard of midnight being refered to as sunday morning!
How can it be the middle of the night of a day that has only just started?

Syphs missus.
 
look 1 2 3 > 59 > lol> 01 thats 2 seconds right there, does the 59 to 00 belong to saturday or sunday? because if sunday starts at 00:00:00 how the hell can the first second be 59>00

Easily.

It's been explained. It's whether you choose to read those posts and try to gain some sort of comprehension of time. Go speak to someone educated and they'll tell you the facts.

One second was in the first day, the other second was in the next day.

23:59:59 --> 00:00:00 is one second, at 00:00:00 the next second is about to begin / already begun. It's so small you'd struggle to measure it. Either way you're in the next day.

Same here, but when they start throwing in "time based double negatives" like "after midnight the day before" it gets a bit fuzzy.
 
Friday 25th at 00:00

which is when thursday 23:59?

Which is totally wrong, any normal person would turn up friday 23:59

ypur all arguing what 00:00 means. but it's useless as we use both the 12hr clock and the 24hr clock.

Whats important is when you would turn up.
