Jeff Bezos, head of Amazon and Blue Origin, has surprised the world many times with his crazy ideas. This time, the richest man on our planet has funded the construction of an amazing clock, which is to become a symbol of long-term thinking and the consequences of decisions and actions.
It arises at the expense of as much as 42 million dollars in a special mountain located in the United States. The construction is to measure as much as 152 meters in height and survive at least 10,000 years.
The originator of this extraordinary clock is a scientist Danny Hillis, one of the members of the Long Now Foundation, which deals with the popularization of long-term thinking. His idea is a conscious and sustainable exploration of the present, so that future generations can enjoy a good life and have prospects for their development.
The clock will be driven by thermal cycles of day and night, so it will not need electricity for its operation. This is to give him longevity.
Thanks to this, future generations will be able to learn a bit about our past, because the mountain belonging to Bezos is to be a museum of memory about the current development of humanity. Therefore, it will be for future generations what the Egyptian pyramids are for us, in which all the technical thought of that time was included.
