   The project was conceived by Danny Hillis in 1986 and
    the first prototype of the clock began working on
    December 31, 1999, just in time to display the transition
    to the year 2000. At midnight on New Year's Eve, the date
    indicator changed from 01999 to 02000, and the chime

FITB
   One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A ____ is penned up in a steel
    chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against
    direct interference by the ____): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of
    radioactive substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one
    of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it
    happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a relay releases a
    hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this
    entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the ____ still lives if
    meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system
    would express this by having in it the _____ and _____ (pardon the
    expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases
    that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes
    transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved
    by direct observation.That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a
    "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody
    anything unclear or contradictory.There is a difference between a shaky or
    out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.
And the answer is

    LIGHT LIES THE NUANCE OF IQLUSION

    MESSAGE X THIRTY EIGHT DEGREES FIFTY SEVEN
    MINUTES SIX POINT FIVE SECONDS NORTH SEVENTY
    SEVEN DEGREES EIGHT MINUTES FORTY FOUR
    SECONDS WEST X LAYER TWO
What are these?? (continued)

    REMOVED WITH TREMBLING HANDS I MADE A TINY BREACH IN THE
    UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER AND THEN WIDENING THE HOLE A

    colleagues we are getting to know the mechanisms for
    filling in the social and economic "voids".Voids are
    everywhere. They can be calculated, and this gives us great
    opportunities ... I know how to control the Universe. So
    tell me — why should I chase a million?

   Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré conjecture
