The 10,000 year clock embodies the concept of long-term thinking, functioning as a monumental physical clock designed by Danny Hillis. Standing 500 feet tall inside a mountain in West Texas, it is engineered to tick once a year, chime every hundred years, and reveal its cuckoo every thousand years. This mechanical marvel is built to operate without human intervention for 10,000 years, utilizing careful material choices to ensure longevity. Its remote location not only aims to protect the clock but also encourages visitors to undertake a pilgrimage, promoting mindfulness of time. As it ages, the clock will collect a patina that transforms it into a symbol of long-range thinking, ultimately inspiring humanity to broaden its perspective on time and its implications for the future.
