The Tick Tock Magic
One funny thing we know about time is that most of the time it does not agree with us, because in times like when we rush our undone assignments, are at a timed practicum, or any timed pressure state we always race against the clock, while at other times like when we wait for someone, or for a subject that is so boring to be finished it seems like we are stuck in that moment forever. Now, have you realized what important element in our daily lives made us know that ugly truth? It was the clock, a time telling device that we can almost see everywhere.
It all started in a mythical city filled with wonders and controversies that is wider than the endless vast arid region that it owns. 800 B.C. back from now in Egypt a fascinating object has been invented to determine time, it was the sundial. The sundial had a pointy straight edge or sometimes a thin rod that would cast its shadow unto each line beneath it after the sun had stroked it. 600 years later came an instrument which measures time by the amount of dripping tap water from a tank it was called the water clock. The hourglass came next in line, it consist of two glass bulbs placed vertically which practically looks like to light bulbs being joined up and having a very thin neck, the thin neck allows the particle inside or sand to pass through the opposite bulb accurately counting every bits of time that is to be measured.
Modernization caused our clocks from the near past up till now to be more accurate and handy, leading to its further development from mechanical clocks to electrical, quartz and even atomic. Mechanical clocks are clocks which are not powered by electricity, it is mostly famous for its tick tock sound, and it is mostly powered by springs and pendulum.
Alexander Bain is the man behind all the works of today’s electrical clocks which is powered by batteries or main powers however in his time people paid more attention to mechanical clocks. Mechanical clocks that we
