Hi, Kyle.

Could you draw up a quick document with the basic business plan?

Just one page as a Google doc and send me the link.

Thanks.

But there was no link.

There was no business plan.

It's not his fault.

I hadn't programmed Kyle to be able to do that yet.

My name is Evan Ratliff.

All right, so we're back to wrap it up on clocks and eventually, spoiler, watches.

But we're at the point now where...

clocks kind of start ticking.

And we're getting closer and closer to keeping track of seconds, although that'll be a second till we get to it.

But as for mechanical clocks go, those water-powered Chinese clocks arguably were the first mechanical clocks.

And again, it's one of those things where they don't know if people invented these in Europe or their Muslim world at the same time, or if it kind of spread out from one place to another.

Another origin story is maybe mechanical clocks came from Europe with, would it be Gerbert?

I think so.

Gerbert of Arlac, who was a French scholar, but you might know him a little better as Pope Sylvester II.
