    		I only have a conjecture. If the meso or thermospehere is located one and a half kilometers above sea level, I'd say these temperatures may tamper with the clocks energy source. But then, the clock would probably be destroyed if it were in the meso or thermosphere so, uh whatever.

    In 1995 I took a picture of the Millennium Countdown Clock in front of the Pompidou Center in the Beaubourg area of Paris. I learned that on the stroke of midnight, year 2000 there was to be a "surprise" when the clock finally counted down to zero. What was that "surprise"?

    I'm looking at something that says Mauna Kea is 13,796 feet above sea level, and Mauna Loa is 13,677 feet above sea level, but that Mauna Loa is the largest volcano in the world. If they are talking from the base, it says that Mauno Kea's rise from the base to the peak is the greatest in the world, so how is Mauna Loa the largest volcano in the world?

    What is common between the pendulum clock and atomic clock ?
