What are mirror hours?

Bu bölüm hakkında

Ever checked the time on your phone or TV set and seen a quirky number like 13:13, 11:11 or 20:20? Well of course you have, but what you may not know is there’s actually a name for such numbers: mirror hours! Basically, when you’re looking at a digital time display, you see a mirror time if the minute number and the hour number are the same. It refers to the symmetry you see on either side of the colon separating the two numbers. Most people are pretty indifferent to this, or see it as a vaguely amusing quirk at most. But for some it goes much further and they believe mirror hours have a mystical or even spiritual meaning, making them far more than just another minute in the day.  What kind of meaning are we talking about?
