Both Of These Twins Are Older Than Each Other, Thanks To Rare Time Paradox

Early one morning, Emily and Seth Peterson were delighted to welcome two gorgeous twin boys, Samuel and Ronan, into the world.

But what makes this birth a little different to any other is that although Samuel was born first, according to the birth certificates, Ronan is actually older. So how can that be?

Figured it out yet? It’s because of Daylight Savings Time! Samuel was born at 1:39am on Sunday, November 6th, and Ronan was born 36 minutes later.

The DST shift happens at 2am, so instead of being born at 2:10am, Ronan’s official time of birth was recorded as 1:1oam.

It’s a rare time paradox, and hospital maternity nurse Deb Totten said it was the first time she’d ever seen it happen in over 40 years of nursing.

Amazing!
