Jeff Bezos Starts Installing 10,000 Year Clock
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says that installation on his 10,00 year clock--an all mechanical clock powered by the thermal cycling of the earth--has just begun, showing off a vide of workers installing parts of the clock deep into a mountain in Texas. Bezos has reportedly invested $42M in the project.
Installation has begun—500 ft tall, all mechanical, powered by day/night thermal cycles, synchronized at solar noon, a symbol for long-term thinking—the #10000YearClock is coming together thx to the genius of Danny Hillis, Zander Rose & the whole Clock team!
