@longnow.orgMore about the space, and how to visit here: longnow.org/interval/
@longnow.orgLook overhead at The Interval and instead of a chandelier, you'll see our twinkling Bottle Keep. It follows the Japanese tradition of keeping a personal bottle at the bar for your next visit. We love that leaving a bottle behind is like a small bet, a wager that you’ll return soon.
@longnow.orgSome of the longest-lived institutions have a surprising thing in common: they serve drinks. Weihenstephan has been brewing beer in Bavaria since 01040. Sudo Honke has been making sake in Japan since 01141. This is, in large part, why we made Long Now headquarters into a bar.
@longnow.orgDid you know you can watch "How Buildings Learn," the classic six-part BBC series (01997) completely free on YouTube? Scored by Brian Eno and based on Stewart Brand’s book, it's essential for any fan of architecture and Long Now lore. Find all the episodes here: www.youtube.com/@consarch775...

@longnow.orgMore about the installation from David Rumsey here: www.davidrumsey.com/blog/2024/10...
@longnow.org“The Speed of the Earth” has returned to Black Rock City. Originally created in 02024, this art piece by Long Now Board members @kevinkelly.bsky.social and David Rumsey uses a mile-long line of solar-powered LED strobes to create a streak of light that moves at the speed of the Earth's rotation.

A city rises from the Nevada dust. For a few strange days, the improbable becomes real. Then almost everything disappears.

@longnow.orgScience needs optimism. “This is the reason we tolerate failed experiments, broken theories, and rejections from journals. To do science well and rigorously, we must believe that a better truth is possible.”
