IS BEZO'S CLOCK CAVE AN UNDERGROUND TUNNEL TO TRAFFICK KIDS FROM MEXICO TO US?
Hours away from any airport, deep in the heart of the Sierra Diablo mountains along the Texas-Mexico border, a 500-foot-tall clock is taking shape. In an era when atomic clocks can tick billions of times a second, the colossal timepiece will tick once a year โ for the next 10,000 years.
The 10,000 Year Clock is the brainchild of inventor Danny Hillis, who dreamed up the idea in 1986 as a way to encourage people to think about humanityโs distant future. After spending a decade designing the clock, Hillis and the San Francisco-based Long Now Foundation he co-founded are building and installing it within a mountain owned by Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, who has invested $42 million in the project.
Last week Bezos tweeted a time-lapse video showing construction of the clock, calling it โa symbol for long-term thinking.โ
