Making Time by David Rooney April 24, 2009

Who is responsible for keeping time? Why do we shift time by changing our clocks twice a year? What is the story behind the speaking clock? Why was time sold in London? Don’t be late for this talk, as David Rooney, Curator of Timekeeping at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich explores the characters and personalities behind the story of time. David also discusses how by making time, changing pace and slowing down, you have more time.
