The history of clocks is a remarkable tale of human ingenuity and the pursuit of precision. Explore how ancient civilizations began measuring time and how this led to the creation of the first true ...

This is where scientists got the idea that any clock with increased precision also has increased entropy on a mostly 1:1 scale, due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Chemist Libby’s water clock will be based on the same principle as the carbon 14 calendar. Some ten miles high, in the stratosphere, cosmic rays stream in from outer space.

But humans have likely lived by some version of the clock for a very long time. The ancient Egyptians invented the first water clocks and sundials more than 3,500 years ago.

Phillips is bringing a 1926 Cartier “mystery clock” to auction next week in New York, less than a month after the US$1.92 million sale of a 1920s-era Cartier La Pendule Magnétique “water ...

From water clocks and sundials to modern smartwatches, the devices we use to tell time have shaped many aspects of civilisation (Credit: Edouard Taufenbach and Bastien Pourtout) The methods we use ...

During the Bronze Age around 1500 BCE, the ancient Egyptians relied on sundials and water clocks to tell the time. Well, times have changed—both literally and figuratively. In a little more than ...

Water clocks also use the laws of nature to keep time through the steady, predictable water flow and observe the changing levels.

The film not only conveys the importance of water in the history and future of humanity but makes a call to action to protect this vital resource, now threatened by ...
