And Then One Day You Find 10,000 Years Have Got Behind You
Manage episode 291909814 series 2922787
A project to build a clock that will run for 10,000 years got us thinking about how we measure time - and amazingly, 10,000 years is more time than has passed since the invention of hours, minutes and seconds. Plus: a quick look at the shortest official measurement in science, which is so short that, ironically, there isn't enough time to try to explain it on our show.
Objects of Despair: The 10,000-Year Clock (The Paris Review)
Why is a minute divided into 60 seconds, an hour into 60 minutes, yet there are only 24 hours in a day? (Scientific American)
