I turned on the "now" mode and had it tick onwards while writing a document.

During the time I typed, over 120 people had killed themselves. 25 war casualties as well.

Puts things in a perspective.

And it also shows that we should perhaps focus more on other areas than one might expect at first.

How many were born?

Married?

How much joy?

How many found lost loved ones?

Got promotions?

The figures on the clock are approximations.

I remind myself about the good things on a daily basis, but I'm afraid I can only approximate those figures as well.

...It's just that, at least I, tend to ignore the bad things going on. And this clock helped setting things into perspective.

Perhaps we should e-mail and ask the people behind this World Clock to make a positive variant.

And tell us how to interface this one with Lavry and Big Ben interfaces to make the world more stable.

haha.. I've read WordClock and thought about dan lavry, jitter and bad sound that noone hears  

I had sex one hour ago. my joybarometer is inline with the growing deathrate.

I think I will go now and watch another episode of Dr. House.

this is the end of the world  


thanx for the link

maybe so, but it is accurate insight to what the REAL issues for human kind are.  

Pass the global warming please.

Clocks are defined in accord to their application, sometimes a figurative one like the "WordClock" which shows news information by the second.

However, it appears that great ignorance about clocks still is found in the masses even when we are living in a new millennium.

You can check the definition of what is clock in several dictionaries, web links, and more. I can tell you with 100% of assurance that several of them are not only incorrect but that are deliberately kept in such wrong status by someones.

Reasons for this deliberate misinformation? Lets see.

Lets analyze with a simple review of what is a clock as a device.

A clock is a device calibrated to a fixed functional work which basically is to make tic tic tic.

You can open a clockwork watch and a clockwork toy and both function the same way, both have in principle the same structure.

The changes made later on in clocks were to change the source of energy which was updated from mechanical to electrical.

Today, we have the atomic clock which is found to also enjoy the same functional work: after counting 9,192,631,770 vibrations of the atom of Caesium the clock made a "tic", this is to say, such is a second.

Does a clock measure the "passage of time"?

No.

To measure the passage of something, a device must have to have a sensor. Lets check the example of the anemometer, which is a device used to measure the passage of winds. It has an internal sensor which measures if the wind speeds up or is slowing down.

Clocks lack of such a sensor, so, from two clocks set the same, if we find that the data of one is different than the data of the another, then, the explanation is simply a malfunction of one of them or the malfunction of both.

Today, there is the delusion that time flows and dilates, but such a physical existence of time has never been proved true by experimental data.

Regardless of how great the mathematical results from some theories of science seem to fit with the delusion of a dilating time, the realiy is that the consequences are found in the objects and not so in the imaginary flowing time.

The causes of deviated data from clocks installed in airplanes and satellites are many, and the simple acceleration of the vehicle is enough to cause it. This is similar to the observed effects of acceleration in human bodies, speed will affect our bodies, not so the imaginary flowing time.

The only method capable to validate the current delusion of a flowing time -and its dilatation- is the experimental data or its observable existence through the application of the scientific method.

Without this evidence proving the physical existence of time as the fact from which other consequences arise, the several theories implying the flowing time are false. In science you cannot start a theory without a factual evidence as your point of depart.

We have, for example, Relativity which shows a weird dilatation of time without giving the evidence that time does exist physically in the first place.

How convenience is for many of this kind of pseudo-scientific theories (Relativity, Black Holes, Expanding Universe -space and time-, etc) to find erroneous definitions of what is a clock in dictinaries and books of science. The benefit of such errors is greatly rewarded by keeping he masses in total ignorance about reality.

Can we input this message in the WorldClock screen?

Relax.  Time is just a helpful construct to prevent everything from happening at once.

[Larrchild]

One can argue that everything is happening at once.
and other things change.

Somewhere out there is a retarded me, maybe really close!

LNMOPRQS..

Yep!

hm.. remembers me of the governement-taxes-bill end of the year + the 100 other bills that are sent out at the same time...

the bills hit me all in the same time-domain    that might be a SRC-problem.. please rolloff the hiend..

now..

Right.

1) Stay together with a satellite, touch it, smell it

2) From here follow it wherever it goes

3) Sent it to outer space

4) Follow it recording its depart and its traveling

5) Keep doing it for years, every day

6) Let your descendants to keep doing it

7) They will see always the satellite  
a) In its current status and location.
b) Its current image.
c) Its current traveling away from us.

After years, the idiot comes to your place

9) The idiot look through your telescope

10)The idiot use his calculator and say
a) That image is an image of the past
b) Using his calculator he assures
c) By the location of its image...hmmm
d) Trillions of miles away...hmmm
e) The image of that satellite
f) Its its image when it was there...
g) Two hundred years ago...

Your descendans show him the video

The idiot pays no attention to reality

He insists that his calculations are right.

And that his numbers prevail over the video.

The idiot can't understand
That in matters of perception
We can only always can
detect reality without exception.

ya think ol' todd (a "true star") would like to go back in time and erase this?

She's pretty.

And probably can fly.

And here all this time, I thought that song was by Bread...
