Construction of the 10000 year clock - Alexander Rose (SETI Talks)

[Valca000]

Screw the clock, the aliens will be going through YouTube's server hard drives and must have thought Earth was inhabited by trolls

I can imagine 9,999 years from when the clock stops ticking people will wonder what will happen when it stops just as we did with the mayan calendar.

Опять пиндосам нечего больше делать, как закапывать часы в пустыне. По меньшей мере это глупо

more like the 10,000 year youtube video. i need seti overviews.

I think this is a great idea & I can totally see where you are going with this. If you are building a 2nd one, I know of a pretty good region for it, where I believe it would last much longer w/less maintainance, if both ancient & modern techniques were combined. However, the winding part may have to be thought out a little differently perhaps. It would also be closer to a location, that would be studied more, in my belief, from otherworldly visitors who may be visiting Earth in the future!!

love it, but I think I like the pyramids, cathedrals, etc he mentioned more...

[Zurround100]

whats the point of a building lasting ten thousand years? What does this have to do with searching for alien life?

[setiinstitute]

@Zurround100 Check out Chapter 4 ...

[MeyerMack]

@Zurround100 It's so when our TV signals are detected a thousand light years away and the aliens spend 9,000 years traveling here to put us out of our misery, they will know what time it is.

@zillionz Our apologies, this video was accidentally posted a couple of days early. You caught us in the middle of an update, everything should be good to go now.
