A friend & I were discussing the above question. We decided it must be NEITHER, or BOTH! What do others think? An example to prove our theory was that when one is sitting on a fence (eg; 00:00 is the fence) then one is either partly on both sides (eg: both days), or is EXACTLY on the fence, with NO parts of the body (eg: exact milli-second,or less) over either side.

If time is stopped exactly at 00:00, you'd be in neither. Theoretically, you'd be bending spacetime so you be everywhere at once and time would not matter to you. Oooooh....Scary!

But if your legs were hanging split over a fence (left foot one side(the west) and the right foot on the other side (the east) ) and the "time line" went over your chest, your left leg would be 1 day ahead and your right would be in the current day. Your chest would be in the current day since theoretically 23hr:59m:59s.2999999ss is the last instance you are in a current day.

It's the day after. Think about it
At 01:00 we're 1 hour into the day before
at 12:00 we're twelve hours into the day before
at 15:45 we're fifteen hours, forty-five minutes into the day before

23:59 = day before
23:59 and 59 secs = day before
23:59 59.999999999999999999999999999s = day before
sooooo at what point does it become day after?
00:00 - the very beginning of the day after, 0 time into it.

certainly a day runs from midnight to 11:59:59: every milli second up to the exact passing into the new day at "0:00:00"

It depends on your definition of time.
If 00:00 is stated as the beginning of the new day, then it's the day after.
If 00:00 is stated as the ending of the day, then it's the day before.

Personally, I would consider 00:00 to be the day after.

The next day.

By convention a day starts at 00:00 and ends at 23:59:59.999_

so 0hrs belongs to the next day

The day after ofcourse, why would your clock reset else? If it was the day before it would read 24:00 h.

There is no fence.


It is THAT day... Not the day before or the day after. if its 00:00.00 then 23:59.59 would be the day before. If its 23:59.59 then 00:00.00 would be the next day..

By definition Midnight is 12:00AM - so it is the next day!
