Question

A man was born in 2021 but died In 2015
how is this possible ​

Answer 1

If the time period/ calendar you follow is based on B.C.E., it is possible. The years following are called A.D.

Answer 2

Answer:

So the problem with the question is that it does not identify what 2021 or 2015 are. Any first year science student knows that numbers are meaningless without units.

2015 and 2021 could be addresses, as in 2015 First Ave and 2021 Second Ave. If so, then the units would be house numbers and it would be quite possible to be born in 2021 Second Ave and die in 2021 First Ave.

2015 and 2021 could be years but, if you were asking about years, you would need the appropriate era to give meaning to the units. Do you mean CE or BCE? If CE, your statement is not possible without a time machine. But, if you mean BCE, then it is quite possible for a man to have been born in 2021 BCE and died in 1915 BCE, at the ripe age of 50.

2015 and 2021 could also be:

• hospital room numbers
• Centi-celsius degrees (I may have just made that up but 100ths of degrees celsius).
• 24 hour clock times (1950 hours vs 2000 hours, although then the punctuation would be off)

I suppose, if I cared more, I could come up with more.
