Jeff Bezos Spent $42 Million to Build A Giant 10,000-Year Clock

By Chris

At last, the installation process has commenced for Jeff Bezos’ ambitious 10,000-year clock project. The Amazon CEO has made a significant investment of $42 million into this extraordinary endeavor, including the clock itself and a hollowed-out mountain in Texas. This location is intended to serve a dual purpose, as it will also become a spaceport for Bezos’ aerospace company, Blue Origin. The true origin of this remarkable concept can be traced back to Danny Hillis, who first proposed the idea of a 10,000-year clock in a 1995 article for Wired magazine.
