did you missed that hours, minutes and seconds start from 0 and days,
weeks, month start from 1?

time represents the timespan since a defined place in time

12:34:13 means 12 hours 34 minutes and 13 seconds after midnight of this
day - or just the duration of 12 hours 34 minutes and 13 seconds

and date represents a specific date

you cannot compare date and time values this way
