The set of Real numbers is infinitely dense. As a result, there are infinitely many Real numbers between any two numbers. If any number X was said to be the number before 2000, then there would be infinitely many numbers between X and 2000. Any one of these numbers has a better claim to be before 2000 than X and so X cannot be the number before 2000.
