The phrase “how long ago was 1” depends on what you mean by “1.” Here are the most common interpretations and results for each:
- If you mean 1 day ago from today (Nov 5, 2025): 1 day ago would be November 4, 2025.
- If you mean 1 year ago from today: November 5, 2024.
- If you mean 1 second ago from now: 1 second ago, i.e., right now minus one second.
- If you mean the year 0001 (i.e., the number 1 as a year) relative to today: roughly 2,024,003 days ago, or about 5,542 years ago, depending on whether you count BCE/CE conventions and leap years; different calculators give slightly different counts depending on calendar system used.
If you can clarify exactly what you intend by “1” (a unit of time, a year, a date like January 1, year 1, or something else), the answer can be precise.
