The universe is going to be around for a long time, but humans will likely not be around for the vast majority of it. This clock, built with logic gates within Minecraft, ticks the eons away via exponentially increasing "pulses", culminating in the opening of a door around the time the universe will reach thermodynamic equilibrium -- when time itself will die, and every moment will be like every other that will follow.

    it kinda looks like might be fun

    Which is why I decided never to play Minecraft after spending an afternoon on it in the free beta days. Too much addiction potential.
