Einstein's dream clock
PAGE 1
(This presentation PAGE is critical as the jury rely on it for preliminary examination to determine the quality of your submission.)
Does the time we feel exactly same?
Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. the world repeats itself, precisely,Endlessly. For the most part, people do not know they will lives over. Traders do not know that they will make the same bargain again and again. Politicians do not know that they will shout from the same lectern an infinite number of times in the cycles of time. parents treasure the first time undress shyly, show surprise at the supple thigh, the fragile nipple. How would they know that each secret glimpse, each touch, will be repeated again and again, exactly as before?
我们现在感觉到的时间都与我们过去的某段体验似乎来自一个地方。我们现在身边生的绝大多数的事都与都能在过去里找寻类似的感觉,这点差别足已让我们觉得自己一直活在变化之中。
我们现在所使用的钟是表达时间的唯一形式吗?我们的时间感真如闹钟那样被分割成均等的一段段吗?
为了在竞争的环境中生存下来,我们每个人都需要使用准确的时间观来处理问题。但它带来的问题是让许多人感到紧张和压力。人们离人们更近的一种时间——虚时。在这些时间里人们可以用比较放松的心情去享受时间,感受时间的流动,时间可快可慢,你一闭眼可能已经在这一瞬间游历了别人一生之所及。或者在你着迷与一本时,半天时间就像一只匆匆飞过的鸟儿,叫了一生就消失在视线里。
我们感觉到的时间,就是这样时快时慢,时紧时松。
设计的目的:
人对与时间的微妙感觉难以把握,但这一设计试图从这一感觉出发来设计一款钟,通过它我们能从新思考和感受我们的时间。
特点:
1、使用了立体的方式来表达时间,在指真转动的过程中会出现成百上千的组合模式,各个组合之间类似,但又不同。
2、钟的提示性被我提到了第一位,钟所显示的具体时间的重要性被我放在第二位。因为现在你手表、手机和任何地方上很方便的知道精确的时间。
可能会遇到技术的问题:(请参看下一页)
1、刻度显示
2、指针的转动问题

技术问题
1、刻度显示
钟的刻度标示在底座白色的透光槽边
2、指针的转动问题
三根直径为四毫米的指针由三个机芯带动,最大的是时针,小的两个分别是分针和秒针。
经过计算后,指针将不会在轨道的交汇处相碰撞
在底座的箱子内有三个功率很大的机芯支持指针的运作

立体的尝试
在我们没有钟以前,我们的祖先靠观察自然来获得时间感,当我们的先辈进入文明社会,为了获得时间的“准确无误”,我们有了钟表,而后有了用数字显示的电子钟。我们对时间的概念也从这个时候开始变得那么准确,我们很少去思考时间是怎么样的一件东西,因该怎么去享用它,取而代之的是机器人一般的工作状态。
立体钟的设计试图尝试唤会人们对时间本应该有的感觉,带给人们一种新的时间感。
这种感觉通过建立许多相似的形态组合来实现,削弱人们对刻度的注意力。
还有就是通过加入立体行来改变人们对钟的感觉。

结语
In this world, time is like a flow of water,
Occasionally displaced by a bit of debris, a
Passing breeze. Now and then, some cosmic
Disturbance will cause a rivulet of time to turn
Away from the mainstream, to make connection
back stream…

Einstein's dream clock
Does the time we feel exactly same?
什么意思??
Do we feel time in exactly the same way?
Is the time exactly the same when we feel it?
Does time feel exactly the same for everyone?
Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. the world repeats itself, precisely,Endlessly. For the most part, people do not know they will lives over. Traders do not know that they will make the same bargain again and again. Politicians do not know that they will shout from the same lectern an infinite number of times in the cycles of time. parents treasure the first time undress shyly, show surprise at the supple thigh, the fragile nipple. How would they know that each secret glimpse, each touch, will be repeated again and again, exactly as before?
这里你一定要给作者 credit,不然算你抄袭。你抄的有错,我重新抄给你:
Einstein's Dreams, by Alan Lightman
Suppose time is a circle, bending back on itself. The world repeats itself, precisely, endlessly. For the most part, people do not know they will live their lives over. Traders do not know that they will make the same bargain again and again. Politicians do not know that they will shout from the same lectern an infinite number of times in the cycles of time. Parents treasure the first laugh from their child as if they will not hear it again. Lovers making love the first time undress shyly, show surprise at the supple thigh, the fragile nipple. How would they know that each secret glimpse, each touch, will be repeated again and again and again and again, exactly as before?
我们现在感觉到的时间都与我们过去的某段体验似乎来自一个地方。我们现在身边生的绝大多数的事都与都能在过去里找寻类似的感觉,这点差别足已让我们觉得自己一直活在变化之中。
不是类似的感觉吗?为什么又有差别?不明白。
The time we feel now seems to have come from the same place as a experience in a distant past. To most events in our life we can find a similar one in the past, and this difference(?) gives us the feeling that we are living in a constant change.
我们现在所使用的钟是表达时间的唯一形式吗?我们的时间感真如闹钟那样被分割成均等的一段段吗?
Can we claim that modern clock represents the only expression of time? Can time be divided by the clocks into equal bits and pieces?
为了在竞争的环境中生存下来,我们每个人都需要使用准确的时间观来处理问题。但它带来的问题是让许多人感到紧张和压力。人们离人们更近的一种时间——虚时。在这些时间里人们可以用比较放松的心情去享受时间,感受时间的流动,时间可快可慢,你一闭眼可能已经在这一瞬间游历了别人一生之所及。或者在你着迷与一本时,半天时间就像一只匆匆飞过的鸟儿,叫了一生就消失在视线里。
着迷于一本书时,不是“着迷与一本时”
叫了一声,不是“叫了一生”
In order to survive in this driven world, each of us needs to handle daily problems using presice time. However, this also brings many of us stress and pressure. 人们离人们更近的一种时间——虚时? 什么意思?virtual time? In virtual time, one can enjoy time in calm, and feel the flow of time. Time can go fast or slow. In one split of a second one might have experienced a whole life of another. Or as one engages oneself in a book, half a day would pass like the passing of a bird, with only one chirp, disappearing from the sight.
我们感觉到的时间,就是这样时快时慢,时紧时松。
This is how we feel time--sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes tight, sometimes loose.
设计的目的:
Aim of design:
人对与时间的微妙感觉难以把握,但这一设计试图从这一感觉出发来设计一款钟,通过它我们能从新思考和感受我们的时间。
重新,不是“从新”
It's difficult to handle the subtlety of time, and from it a new clock design is born, hoping to generate new ways to think and feel about time.
特点:
1、使用了立体的方式来表达时间,在指真转动的过程中会出现成百上千的组合模式,各个组合之间类似,但又不同。
2、钟的提示性被我提到了第一位,钟所显示的具体时间的重要性被我放在第二位。因为现在你手表、手机和任何地方上很方便的知道精确的时间。

The three-dimensional experiment
Before the clock was invented, our ancestor depends on the observation nature to obtain the time feeling. After our older generation enters the civilized society, in order to obtain the time," accurately is unmistakable ", they designed the clock and watch then they create had the digital electron clock. Most of us tend to focus so much on accuracy rather than the true meaning of time. We seldom ponder what the time is, and how should we spent it. Most of us work all day around like robots. And rarely think how to enjoy time.
The three-dimensional clock design attempts to awoken the time feeling which the people originally should have.
