10,000 Year Clock Project: Learn how scientists and engineers build a monument scale astronomical machine that will last as long as civilization

For almost 17 years Alexander Rose has served as project manager working on the development of The Clock Project. The Clock is designed to run for ten millennia with minimal maintenance and interruption. Powered by mechanical energy harvested from sunlight as well as the people that visit it, the undertaking is no small feat. Hear the details of the Project, including the research and design process that has taken him as far as the arctic Seed Vault in Svalbard and deep underground to the ultra-secret Mormon genealogical vaults in Salt Lake City.
