Digital Clock Without Electricity or Moving Parts

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-where's-the-alarm-function dept.

NerdMachine writes "Throw away those slide rules and embrace the digital age. The Digital Sundial is a 10 year old invention on display in Sundial Park (Genk, Belgium), Deutsches Museum (Munich Germany), Kölnisches Stadtmuseum (Cologne, Germany), and Martha's Vineyard, USA. You need to pivot it to adjust daylight savings time. If you can't visit one of these, Digital Sundials International can sell you one for US$12,000+, or you can buy a pocket version for under US$100 for that special nerd in your life."

    Do not try to think of the Earth rotating. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.

    There is no Earth.

    Then you'll see that it is not the Earth itself that rotates, it is only yourself.
