CrowdScience - What time was the first clock set to?
When the first person set the very first clock, how did they know what time to set it to? This question, from listener Chris in the UK, sends CrowdScience off on a quest into the history of timekeeping.
From sundials to water clocks, from uneven hours to precision seconds determined by the vibration of an atom, we examine how we came to measure time. We visit possibly the oldest working mechanical clock in the world to discover how its time was originally set; and hear how the time we go by today is not quite the same as it was in the past.
Will all this be enough to solve Chris' question, or has he stumped the team?
Featuring:
Ian Westworth, Clock Mechanic Dr. Chad Orzel, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Union College Anna Rolls, Curator of Clocks, Clockmakers’ Museum Peter, Guide, Salisbury Cathedral Dr. Jun Ye, Physicist at NIST (National Institutes of Standards and Technology) and The University of Colorado, Boulder.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Is the Short Team Lockup for STRK ‘Misaligned’? No, Says Starkware CEO
Starknet community members were not happy about many of the details of who was eligible to receive tokens.
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Pandora, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.
Starknet made news this week for announcing what will be the largest initial airdrop by number of eligible addresses ever. But it faced heavy criticism online for many of the details of the airdrop, from the fact that Ethereum solo takers received almost 22% of the distribution to eligibility requirements that users held at least 0.005 ETH in their wallets as of Nov. 15, 2023 to the fact that the token generation event took place almost two years before the unlock date.
Starkware CEO Eli Ben-Sasson joined Unchained to respond to the multiple critiques of the airdrop and discuss why he and the Starknet Foundation decided on the details that they did.
Show highlights:
- What the airdrop criteria was and why they decided to make it that way
- Why they allocated so much $STRK to Ethereum solo stakers
- Eli’s response to the criticism about how little Starknet network participants got in the airdrop
- Why the STRK Token Generation Event (TGE) was done in 2022, only to be airdropped two years later
- Why Eli believes that even if the unlock of tokens is in two months, it does not indicate misalignment of incentives
- Whether Eli will sell his tokens when they become unvested
