10,000 Year Clock. We are building a 10,000 Year Clock. It's a special Clock, designed to be a symbol, an icon for long-term thinking. It's of monumental scale inside a mountain in West Texas. The father of the Clock is Danny Hillis. He's been thinking about and working on the Clock since 1989. Visiting the Clock will take a commitment. Building a Clock inside a remote mountain is a big task. This is the way you'll initially enter the series of tunnels and chambers that we're creating within the mountain. After many years of hard work and creative thinking, the final design and engineering of the Clock is nearly complete, and fabrication of the full-size Clock parts has begun. The Clock's chime generator creates a different bell ringing sequence each day for 10,000 years. Carved into the mountain are five room-sized anniversary chambers: 1 year, 10 year, 100 year, 1,000 year, and 10,000 year anniversaries.

Thanks for your interest in the Clock! Jeff Bezos. C R Y P T O N O M I C O N. Wondertoonel. Doodling in Math Class: Squiggle Inception is Today's BIG Thing in Technology - AUG 10, 2011.
