That is actually somewhat intriguing because we are supposed to have a second pass (the questionable one) from Apophis in 2036, if I remember correctly. The first fly-by in 2029 will be a near miss. The actual date of concern was it's second transit in 2036. I will see if I can dig up the exact date. I will literally freak if it's December 5th....... *sigh*

You have to consider that if indeed novelty is based on global consciousness/interactivity/connection
THAN July 20 1969 is absolutely the most possible novel date of the century, therefore valuable to replace August 6 1945.
Anyway, this is just part of experimenting. Taking risks.
I'm actually enjoing myself.

REASONS BECAUSE JULY 20 1969, MOON LANDING MAY BE THE MOST NOVEL ( IN THE REAL MEANING OF THIS TERM ) DATE OF THE CENTURY:
- Moon Landing was a gigantic step for us to achieve something and to walk on a territory that was external to Earth.
- Moon Landing was a terrific jump into progress, scientifical, technological, historical.
- Moon Landing connected ALL THE GLOBE into interaction/observation of the whole event.
- For open minded people , it is possible that it contained a minor first contact for those astronauts with alien creatures ( ??? ) possible but unlikely.
- Agrees more with the concept of novelty than August 1945.
REASONS WHY AUGUST 1945 EVENTS MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED AS MUCH NOVEL AS MOON LANDING:
- The events of August 6 to 9 1945 were not effectively global , but only huge events for Usa and Japan.
- Any way you consider it, it was a major terrible terror attack, BUT, it doesn't agrees much with novelty concept.
- If the purpose of Timewave Zero is to show progress and human growth in ethics, than these events don't agree with these concepts.

The first message transmitted over the ARPANET was sent by UCLA student programmer Charley Kline, at 10:30 p.m, on October 29, 1969.
The first permanent ARPANET link was established on November 21, 1969, between the IMP at UCLA and the IMP at the Stanford Research Institute. By December 5, 1969, the entire four-node network was connected.
The arpanet to my understanding was the base for the future internet application.
Or am I wrong?
