Time
In our hurried, harried lives where time is money, pause for a moment to contemplate the inspiring mission of the Long Now Foundation: to build a clock that will keep accurate time for 10,000 years. This is the brainchild of computer scientist Danny Hillis as a way to challenge our short-term thinking – and it’s actually happening. Deep inside a mountain in west Texas, surrounded by 5,000-year-old pines, its marine-grade stainless steel, titanium and dry running ceramic parts are being assembled. The clock will be powered by mechanical energy harvested from sunlight as well as the people that visit it.
