Tidsmontren, september 2026:

Et højt glasskab med 5 hylder indeholder et kosmisk ur, som kører med hastigheden 1 mm per 100 år. Termerne TimeWagon, TidsVogn og Nuets Vogn er tidligere benyttet om samme apparat.

Til denne installation er der udviklet følgende:

· Nogle korte videoer om ’Vognen’:

· Præliminært dokument med uddybninger til hylderne i Tidsmontren:

Forskningens Døgn 28. april 2022:

Samarbejde med Sorø Kunstmuseum 2013 om to installationer:
.......Museumslinjen: Fokus på Jordens nutid og Livets udvikling: Klik for at hente kmz-file som åbnes i Google Earth (all in Danish)
.......Stationslinjen: Fokus på Jordens dannelse: kmz-file som åbnes i Google Earth (all in Danish)
.......Begge linjer som pdf-dokument.

"Science on Stage", installation 2011: kmz-file which opens in Google Earth
This installation included a time-space cross. The space dimension was shrunk so that 1 mm was the diameter of the Earth, so that one square millimeter was the domain of a human life in time and space. This gave also a nice space-walk to the planets, but stars and galaxies were VERY far away still.

COP15 installation, 2009: kmz-file which opens in Google Earth

TimeLine Open this kmz-file in Google Earth and travel the TimeLine in a convenient and CO2-friendly way

TimeWalk Print this one-page folder and walk time at a pace of 100,000 years per footprint. See also COP15 event 11 to 18 December 2009: Gang i Tiden: TimeWalk

TimeCard At 1 millimeter per century, the history of civilization fits within a credit card. You may print these cards and get a handy illumination of history and prospects of CO2, Sea Level, and Temperature

What is the idea of 1mmper100y?
At this scale of one millimeter per century, the history of civilization fits on a credit card (get a TimeCard). One millimeter is the length of a typical healthy life. It also indicates the length of the crucial next century where we must stabilize our climate. The dramatic abruptness of human impact on nature becomes very clear when compared to the evolution of natural climate and bio-diversity in deep time.
This web-site offers several resources which you use for your personal reflections as well as for teaching.

One way of getting this bigger perspective would be to take a walk i Copenhagen (get the TimeWalk-folder) from The Little Mermaid where fish went on land 390 million years ago (~3.9 km), passing the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago (650 m), to the present day at Strandgade 91. From December 12 to December 18, 2009, you may visit NowGate (part of Arctic Venue and In the Eye of Climate Change ) where you may discuss the past, present and future, interlinking the time scales of cosmology, geology, antropology, civilization, ethics, politics and personal choices. At NowGate the advent of Homo Sapiens (100,000 years ago) is one meter behind, the disappearance of Jutland (the main peninsula of Denmark) lies one meter ahead, and the ultimate evaporation of the Earth lies 50 km ahead.

Who is behind www.1mmper100y.dk?
This is a simple information/discussion project coordinated by assoc.prof. Bo Holm Jacobsen, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Aarhus, Denmark.
Status December 2009 is that information has been contributed from the universities of Aarhus and Copenhagen, Geological Museum, GEUS, DMI (and Google and Wikipedia ;-))
