Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has announced that construction has started on the #10000YearClock project that aims to build a clock that will run for 10,000 years.
Bezos has invested $42 million in this goal of building a mechanical clock that will run for 10 millennia.
The clock will be installed on a plot of land he owns in Texas. Here is more on it.
The idea of the clock was first proposed by American inventor Danny Hillis in 1995.
Since then, he and his team have built prototypes of such a clock, but only after Bezos decided to fund the project did the idea begin taking concrete shape.
