The 10,000-Year Clock is a monumental timepiece designed to run for ten millennia without needing maintenance. Located in a remote mountain in West Texas, it aims to encourage long-term thinking about humanity's future. The clock is engineered to tick once a year, with a century chime and a millennium chime, marking significant time intervals. This ambitious project was initiated by Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, and is part of the Long Now Foundation. The clock's design incorporates natural elements, such as temperature changes and geological shifts, to ensure its longevity and reliability over thousands of years.
