Welcome to my Thoughts

I began this semester looking at topics that interested me such as:

Geometry
Origins of objects
Re purposing trash for a different use
Religion/How cultures are formed
The way people have changed and evolved
The history of things that effect me

A constant in this list is the affect that history has and the story behind objects.

This lead me to look into time and the order of which events occur and objects are created

How much does something change if the time line of it’s construction is reordered?

Brought me to pursue the idea of evolution and time lines of events and objects. Through my studies I have looked into

People
Building
Language
Religion
Ideas
Intelligence
Creativity

The Evolution from Cyclical to Linear
Time is something that just keeps going. Today we think of time as a line, if a series of events is to be put in order it is organized onto a time line. The idea of a time line did not become the popular form of conceptualizing time until the Christian era. The Christians with […]
Time in Other Fields: Physics
Time has always been part of the solar system and therefore part of astrology as well as astronomy. Throughout the years it has become a key component to the rest of science, especially physics. Gallelalo used time devices to come up with his theories of free falling bodies, as well as the beginning of the […]
Development of the Calendar
Sexagesimal The passing of time is kept track of by most living things. Trees have rings growing a new one each year, shells grow another layer displaying their age, sedimentary rock can display minerals form centuries ago. As humans we do not show age in such a clear way, instead we developed the calendar. This […]
Evolution or Revolution?
The evolution of ideas have a great affect on the revolutions. Revolutions come about from a realization that the ideals of the country are no longer in the best interest of the community as a whole. The current FLOW of the community is disrupted and it increases, thus creating an event; A REVOLUTION. This is […]

Time Devices
Gnomon Gnomon, a Greek word meaning “indicator” The gnomon was the first form of a time device. The first one was either built in Mesopotamia China, or Egypt. It is not known how it was originally made but it was probably from a stick being stuck in the ground, or inspired by the observation of […]
The Start of Time
I choose to continue my research with a concentration on the history of time and how it developed. All the research done in the first few weeks had a basis of time with how time affected its evolution. That sparked my interest in how time is able to have such a great impact on our […]
