This fucking voice ruins everything.

I love clocks... the tiny bit of mass that makes it work. My Mechanical Higgs... from Pi/3-1!

This implies that the colloquially understood mechanism of Time (as it applies to our epistemological application) is heavily influenced by design memetics.

please help me, we can be a team

That's why you have no time in space. Because of no gravity this machine won't work.😅

when I look at pocket watches made in the 1800,s They are a remarkable work of engineering genius and they re still working pieces of art

(@RichardDawkins, I’d love to hear what you think about this regarding memetics) The waw-consecutive (first appearing ~1350 BCE in the Amarna letters) was the moment a language was deliberately engineered to force all events into clean, linear chains: “and then… and then… and then…” This is the ancient root of the same logic we later see in mechanical clocks. The escapement gear doesn’t measure time — it forces time into standardized, sequential ticks. Just like the waw-consecutive forced experience into standardized, sequential sentences. Both are Memewelt technologies that hijack natural flow and replace it with artificial, controllable units. One did it to language and thought. The other did it to time itself. The clock is just the waw-consecutive made mechanical.

did it finally get the hang of the hour hand or just the minute

Oscillation is a very strange thing. Is there an enjoyable video about it?

All that brass!
