Why Build a Clock That Will Last 10,000 Years?


                                                                   

  

From NatGeo:

Inventor Danny Hillis is working with a team of futurists and engineers to build the 10,000 Year Clock, a multimillennial timekeeper. Designed as a symbol of long-term thinking, the formidable piece will be assembled and housed in a mountain in West Texas. Hear about the process in this short from production company Public Record.

The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the National Geographic Society.

Know of a great short film that should be part of our Showcase? Email SFS@ngs.org to submit a video for consideration.
