Jeff Bezos just revealed video of the massive 10,000-year clock being built inside a West Texas mountain
The clock is 500 feet tall and powered by the Earth's thermal cycles, Jeff Bezos said in a tweet Tuesday.
The clock has been in the works for nearly three decades, according to the post, and is designed to tick once a year.
The century hand advances once every 100 years, and the cuckoo comes out on the millennium.
亚马逊 CEO 贝索斯造了一座“万年钟”。这座钟高 152 米,纯机械式结构,建在得克萨斯州的一座山中,由一家非营利机构负责。贝索斯 20 日表示万年钟已经正式开工,但没有给出完工时间。“万年钟”的秒针每一年走一格,代表世纪的指针每一百年走一格,每千年报时一次,计时寿命长达万年,意在提醒人类关注于长期的未来、当下的活动对未来的影响。贝索斯为此花费约 4200 万美元。
远大理想,默默工作这么久?!估计要成为有生之年经历的重大历史事件之一了。很好奇长期的管理制度安排,是否会开放公众参观?
