Clocks that run Counter Clockwise

[Quasar44]

A clock that runs counter clockwise may seem goofy and odd but Its just as VALID as a clock that runs clockwise.


Time was invented in the Northern Hemisphere. We know this because Clocks go clockwise. They simply copy the exact same path that ancient sundials used based on the Suns Shadow.


If Clocks were invented in the Southern Hempisphere. Then every clock on earth would go counter clockwise. Think about it. !!!

The Suns Arc is opposite in the North Hemp to the South Hemp.

Cool !!!

Your thinking may apply to sundials but has no relevance to clocks which are mechanical with no reference back to the sun.

The origins of the clocks movement follows the exact same path of the sundials with respect to its shadows.

Cool stuff

In the movie "Journey to the Far Side of the Sun" there was a parallel earth that was reversed and identical in every way. Would it be possible to have an earth that was opposite in every way? Even without the parallel earth. That means us.

Which way is clockwise again? I grew up in the digital age.

In this universe- the laws of physics are omnipresent!!
Maybe in a different universe

This is called the "right-hand rule" ... with your right hand, curl your four fingers in the direction of rotation and extend your thumb ... the thumb points the direction of the rotational vector ...

"Up" is defined as "North" ... then looking down on the north pole of our rotation, we define as "counter-clockwise" ...

No reason ... completely arbitrary ... the math is the same either way ... just something scientists all agree on ...

I used to go to a barber who had a clock that ran counter when you were sitting in the chairs and looked in the mirror it looked like it was running clockwise it was the only clock I ever saw that ran that way

Disney produced their Mickey Mouse and Minny Mouse watches ... they also had a line with Goofy ... yeah, they ran backwards ... our pediatrician had a wall-mounted one ...
