Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? | Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains...

I remember asking my dad as a child if the world was in colour before colour TV. I'm sure I'm not the only one

I'm 59 years old, and I love these explainer videos! My kids are always confused when I say "quarter till" or "10 to". Even now, when I read a digital time, I envision an analog clock in my head.

I love it when I can laugh and learn something cool at the same time. I'm very glad that we have people like Neil deGrasse Tyson as a science communicator.

I was taught that in grade school. It was fun to revisit. As soon as Neil asked why clocks move clockwise, I immediately thought of sundials thanks to my 3rd grade teacher.

Worst part of losing analog clock face is that I have actually had to explain to a twenty-something that "a quarter past 1" was 1:15, not 1:25.

What do you think the world would be like if we didn't have GPS time today? What technologies that we take for granted would be impossible?

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of knowledge Neil has in his head!

As someone living in the southern hemisphere I appreciate Neils taking notice of that and yes, moss does grow on the southern side of trees/stuff it can attach to. Plus homes facing north are more appreciated because of the additional direct sunlight

Give your editor a raise, he does well highlighting what you say.

A man with one watch knows the time. A man with two watches is never sure.
