The Long Now Foundation is attempting to build a clock to last 10,000 years.
Construction began close to a decade ago, and there is no estimated completion date. Construction of the clock may well last 10,000 years.
- Rebelgecko 2y agoI think at one point the Van Horn TX clock was considered a "prototype" or another one that would be built incorporating lessons learned, although I don't know if that's still the plan. Coincidentally the clock will ring with a cycle of chimes that repeats every 10,000 years
