The Corpus Clock, designed by Professor Stephen Hawking and Dr. John C. Taylor, is meant to remind us that time eats everything, it always wins. The U. of Cambridge video, below, details the occult-styled clock, which features a gargoyle eating up the seconds on a monstrous, metal flywheel.

Note: The T.V. character Homer Simpson once greeted Hawking, in a guest appearance by the world’s most famous physicist, as “that wheelchair guy.”
