From 1/12/1909 ( Hermann Minkowski dead ) To 2/22/2022 ( by me, Kerry Burgess, posted by me, significantly ) is 41314 days
41314 = 20657 + 20657
From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 5/24/2022 ( ) is 20657 days
From 3/18/1960 ( premiere US TV series episode "The Twilight Zone"::"Long Live Walter Jameson" ) To 4/20/2022 ( ) is 22678 days
22678 = 11339 + 11339
From 11/2/1965 ( my known birth date in Antlers, Oklahoma, USA, as Kerry Wayne Burgess ) To 11/18/1996 ( premiere US film "Star Trek: First Contact" ) is 11339 days
From 3/10/1909 ( from The Daily Princetonian publication: STATISTICS. This issue announces the annual "mortality statistics," together with the list of those whose work has entitled them to seats on the platform of honor. For the departed ones we are sorrowful ) To 4/20/2022 ( Wednesday ) is 41314 days

COMMENCEMENT; Princeton President Addresses Graduates
June 9, 1993
Princeton University conferred 1,075 undergraduate and 611 advanced degrees yesterday at its 246th commencement held on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall in Princeton, N.J.
The valedictory was delivered by Niles A. Pierce, a mechanical and aerospace engineering major. D. Graham Burnett, a history major, was the salutatorian, delivering his speech in Latin as Princeton tradition requires.
Harold T. Shapiro, the university president, delivered brief remarks at the conclusion of the commencement ceremonies.
Mr. Pierce told fellow graduates: "In order to start raising a generation of children who read books, we must first educate a generation of future parents who do not. My classmates, that is our generation."

January 1909
From Wikipedia
The following events occurred in January 1909:
January 12, 1909
Died: Professor Hermann Minkowski, 44, Polish mathematician and colleague of Albert Einstein and David Hilbert (b. 1864); from sepsis from appendicitis. Less than four months earlier, Minkowski had presented the mathematical framework, now known as "Minkowski spacetime", by which Einstein's theory could be explained. Before he could extend his work, however, he became ill late in 1908 and developed peritonitis. Legend has it that on his deathbed at the hospital in Göttingen, he lamented, "What a pity that I have to die in the age of relativity's development."

Hermann Minkowski
From Wikipedia
Hermann Minkowski (22 June 1864 – 12 January 1909) was a German mathematician and professor at Königsberg, Zürich and Göttingen.
He created and developed the geometry of numbers and used geometrical methods to solve problems in number theory, mathematical physics, and the theory of relativity.
Minkowski is perhaps best known for his work in relativity, in which he showed in 1907 that his former student Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity (1905) could be understood geometrically as a theory of four-dimensional space–time, since known as the "Minkowski spacetime".
