As the others said: someone's clock is wrong.
OP: have you had a chance to study the original Satoshi white paper? It is a surprisingly easy read. He briefly talks about the time-keeping requirements.
It amazes me how robust the bitcoin network is (and this time-keeping issue is one example of its robustness).
Topic: How is this possible? (Blockchain.info block sequence) (Read 1389 times)
I don't know what im looking at: ?
someone has the computer clock on a wrong time, in the end it doesn't matter.
It's impossible to determine the actual age of a block. Blockchain.info just uses the blocks' timestamps, which are set by the nodes that mine the blocks; the network requires that a node's clock not be waaay off but doesn't require everyone's clocks to be exactly in sync. So if you're computer's time is 20 minutes fast and you mine a block it'll look something like that.
How is this possible? Just curious...
