Time – A Human Obsession.
Time – the non-spatial continuum – continues to hold the fascination of humankind. Last night the population of entire planet celebrated Time. It is the biggest event of the year – bigger than the Super Bowl, bigger than the World Cup, the Olympics – bigger than any any election. The celebration of Time is completely non-compulsory. Yet, of seven billion people, the overwhelming majority of us opt to link in one way or another. Why? Because we can’t control it? Perhaps.
Humankind continues it’s most ancient celebration. In a tradition that goes back at least 8,000 years, people gather to mark the passage of time. The assembly in Times Square NY may be the most populous gathering, but it represents a mere fraction of the enormous planet-wide festival.
