Sacred Time Links

 

 

A 10,000-year clock.

As Daniel Hillis first described the Clock in 01993, "It ticks once a year, bongs once a century, and the cuckoo comes out every millennium." A working prototype of the Clock, eight feet high, is now operational and began to tick on New Years Eve 01999. Click here for more information.

An "interfaith" calendar marking the sacred times in many traditions, with links, can be seen here.
