Music

What about in music, as in the hottest songs in x style of music?

But why "t-minus"? What is the signifigance of the "t"? I can only assume "time minus"?67.184.135.180 01:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Does anyone know why it is 'T minus'? does the T stand for 'time', and if so, what sense does that make? like say i am doing something in 5:00 minutes. one second passes, then I am doing it in T minus 5 minutes and 59 seconds. so i am doing it one second from now? i don't get it. please explain! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.198.10 (talkcontribs) 09:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are doing it at T. Say the launch time is 5 minutes from now, then now is T minus 5 minutes; one second later is T minus 4 minutes 59 seconds. -- Smjg 10:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
