All right, who has the rabbit with pancake graphic?
I do believe he’s gone completely mental.
I read the article twice and I still have no idea what the author is talking about.
That clock looks positively Lovecraftian/Geigerish.
Back in 198? (early eighties anyrate) His book “A Short History on Time” came into print and I read it (interesting).
Back then, he was supposedly on death’s doorstep, with no more than months left to live.
Thirty-odd years later...
"BOOM ... DEE ... AHH ... DAH"
It is ugly. And it is not accurate except every so often, from what I read.
Really a dumb item.
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME!
Sheesh and here I was thinin’ that time was an evolver.
The Corpus Clock has been invented and designed by Dr John Taylor for Corpus Christi College Cambridge for the exterior of the college's new library building.
It will be unveiled on 19 September by Prof Stephen Hawking, cosmologist and author of the global bestseller, A Brief History of Time.
The £1 million timepiece, known as The Corpus Clock, has been commissioned and designed to honour the John Harrison, who was famously the pioneer of Longitude and inventor of the esoteric clock mechanism known as a grasshopper escapement.
The clock has been designed by the inventor and horologist Dr John Taylor and makes ingenious use of the grasshopper escapement, moving it from the inside of the clock to the outside and refashioning it as a Chronophage, or time-eater, which literally devours time.
I like it. Kind of Goth...
Amazing, I didn’t know you could jump a shark in a chair like that! Modern science wow!
Wow! It’s sort of a perpetual motion machine gone high-tech. I certainly wouldn’t want it any place where I had to watch it and be reminded of its message all the time, but it’s quite striking.
It’s not really much different from the medieval sun-dials and clocks that bore warnings to make good use of the time because it was running out on you with every moment of your existence. In fact, I live in a town where the clock on the Cathedral bears a reminder, in Latin, that the hours are fleeting and we will all have to account for how we have used them.
Thanks for the links, it’s really interesting to see it in action.
Westlander, you ought to be ashamed of yourself...LMAO!!!
If Satan designed a clock, what would it look like?
Even the explanation of the intent behind the design sounds like a mission from Satan.
