About this listen

From sundials in ancient deserts to the invisible oscillations of atomic clocks, humanity has spent millennia trying to capture the flow of time. It’s a story of science and civilization, of how we went from watching shadows to measuring seconds with the rhythm of atoms.

In this episode of The Tilted Planet Podcast, we trace the evolution of timekeeping across thousands of years. From water clocks and monastery bells to pendulums, railways, and satellites, we’ll explore how our pursuit of precision shaped the modern world and what it reveals about our need to measure the unmeasurable.

Tilt your perspective, and journey through the ticking heart of history, where invention, culture, and curiosity converge to define what time truly means.
