While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors

While daydreaming about timepiece inventors... as the figurative curtain closes on 2022 How arbitrary the assignment of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years... to the passage of time, and I would be hard pressed to differentiate one moment from the next without the aid of some handy dandy mechanism linkedin to clocking existence. An especially keen awareness piques the one mind among plethora of Foo Fighters particularly at the strike of midnight December thirty first when people Kiss veritable strangers relishing The Lovin' Spoonful of each Pink lips. Who knows whence the measurement of time came about, though this chap proposes the following general happenstance until one becomes among Grateful Dead. Perhaps psalm body named Judas Priest arranged to congregate, but cohorts restless (sans Quiet Riot), did Accept a Mercyful Fate asper their Iron Maiden pact, but needed to reassure doubting Tom us (a petty detail), how to coordinate self anointed Black Sabbath. An Idol Billy Graham proposed a resolution; this coincidentally enough would be calculated, figured, and interpolated vis a vis to happen on New Years Eve circa unknown when Beatles endured mania when their fans acted like The Monkeys who went bananas. Some metal-heads put their Smashface together, and contrived a crude modus operandi, which involved each musician to crank up and amplify to the max his instrument of choice. No matter distance extant between closest and farthest member, RUSH of Earth, Wind and Fire would be faintly heard analogous to Genesis of new beginning. The era re: these off Phish hill bit players didst dabble with primitive chronometers comprised hamlets a mere shouting distance apart. Once a quasi reliant (and affordable) methodology evolved, one singer songwriter upped the (space/time quantum theory) ante by conniving, fostering (the Village People), inviting live on stage performances. Quite a bit of fancy free footloose gimcrackery reckoned to be sale-able to sell at audiences, thus drawing a Crowded House. Nonetheless, there remained the confounding, irksome, pesky quandary sans figuring precision concerning how to segment morning to night cycle. Perhaps the town nerd might own the (get) smarts to tinker satisfactorily until...PRESTO about equivalent to 5 Seconds of Summer. The purported impossible mission solved with refinement propelling one geek after the other into the klieg lights if only for a blink (182) of an eye. A quick and easy (makeshift, albeit very temporary) Cheap Trick would suffice in the interim (which might entail many generations) to rock a Super Tramp off The Farm. Lo and behold a panacea arrived in form of Jethro Tull. Beastie Boys (more or less marauding hooligan gangs comprised of Arctic Monkeys) possessed an uncanny verve zeroing in on the challenge to enable Crowdsource sing. They designed, hand crafted, and linkedin all knowledge about mathematics and physics. One contrivance edged out other equally farcical gizmo. Via some lack of clarification Badfinger referred both to the longer of two needles pointers plus included the entire mechanism. Individuals would no longer find themselves in Dire Straits getting someplace with markedly greater accuracy. Sooner or later a confluence of beginners dumb luck witnessed a Mötley Crüe, whereat brainstorm (of course in tandem with consciousness expanding material) yielded a great burst of inventiveness within The Human League, though after end less modifications credit for the handy dandy blues clues pocket watch allotted to a plethora of anonymous minds.
