This is just incredible, would love to see a version with milliseconds support:) It'd also be nice if the numbers didn't fade in/out but had a sharp cut off poi

  Think about how it works and you'll realise why those are incredibly difficult to achieve.

  While theoretically possible, it'll be very difficult to realize physically. If you allow fractal constructions, purely unrectifiable sets can fit the bill. For example, here's an example in 2-dimensional space that casts a solid shadow when the light source is along one axis but not from any other: https://books.google.com/books?id=usjNBQAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=&pg=PA34#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=usjNBQAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=&p...

    With millisecond precision I think it's even theoretically impossible as the slits would become so small it destroys the shadow in an effect seen in the double slit experiment. But that's just a gut feeling.

      You'll have to make 500 meters thick clock, but theoretically it's possible.

        And practically, too, perhaps not politically or economically possible.

  Are you planning on having a javascript sundial? :)
