10,000 Year Clock
The 10,000 Year Clock is a monumental timepiece designed to last for ten millennia. Located inside a mountain in West Texas, it aims to encourage long-term thinking about humanity's future. The clock is powered by thermal energy from the surrounding environment and features a unique mechanical design that ticks once a year.
Created by The Long Now Foundation, the clock symbolizes the importance of considering the long-term impact of our actions. It serves as a reminder of the need for sustainability and foresight in a rapidly changing world, promoting a perspective that extends far beyond our immediate concerns.
