It seem that the counter does not like to accept any dates prior to 1902.
If you put a date that is before 1902 and click "update" events, it refreshes the page, however the Event Date field is empty.
So if you wanted to display how many years its been since the first light bulb was invented, you cant.

You are correct that this is, unfortuneatly, a limitation of the timestamp method that PHP uses:
"Note: The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 UTC to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC." Source: http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
This is a limitation of using a 32-bit signed integer as the timestamp. In time, PHP will eventually move to 64-bit timestamps, which will allow you to express literally just about any date you want.
Unfortuneatly, there's really nothing I can do.
