Who invented clocks?
Christiaan Huygens. The next development in accuracy occurred after 1656 with the invention of the pendulum clock. Galileo had the idea to use a swinging bob to regulate the motion of a time-telling device earlier in the 17th century. Christiaan Huygens, however, is usually credited as the inventor. This was according to the Wikipedia.
How did they really know the time before they made the clock?
While researching I found out that, There was another more advanced shadow clock used by the ancient Egyptians around 1500 BC. The shadow clock permitted one to measure the passage of hours within a day. There was also another very early form of clock to tell the time, It was a water clock which was used by the ancient Greeks.
Now, This makes me wonder, If humans evolved from apes/monkeys, why are there still monkeys and apes? Can blind people see dreams? What do you think?
