Time goes by really fast! The next thing we know it has been an entire day and now its time to go back to sleep. Did you ever stop to think about how we even measure all that time? Enter glass vases. The hour glass timer is a very fascinating implement that serves to quantify time. It consists of two glass bulbs connected by a stem which is, ultimately that same material as the bulb. These bulbs are filled with sand. This is how time moves as the sand drains from one top bulb to another. Here is what we can learn About-The-Hour-Glass
Ever seen an hour glass? It can be really fascinating! Sand then trickles from one little bulb to the other – grains of sand beneath each, dropping gently and inevitably down. Time feels like it is escaping through your eyes along with the sand. But are you aware of the principles behind how hour glass itself actually works? Simply gravity is the answer! Two bulbs are connected by a narrow neck and gravity pulls the sand through that. The throat, so thin that only one grain of sand passes through at the time. This is what makes the hour glass accurate in measuring time!
Do you realize that an hourglass is reusable? It’s true! Flip the glass ornament and all of that sand which has accumulated at the bottom bulb beautifully rises back in abundance to fill up in top bulb one more moment. And as the sand trickles back down, time is measured in exactly the same manner. If it is, then that personalized hourglass has to be reset; which resets the clock— this in itself can often take quite a while. It's quite and old concept, more than 600 years! Time was frequently used to qualify how long certain tasks took. Like a chef may use an hour glass to estimate how long it takes to bake the cake so they know when its good for consumption.
You Do Know the Hour Glass of Course — Ever Hear That Expression: "The Sands Of Time? The sand in the hour glass, are how days go by. The sand flows from between the top and bottom bulbs – showing us time's passing. Others use it as an hour glass and become aware to utilize every minute. When they can see the sand starting to run low, then its time for them stallions there,to start moving and enjoy their ride!
You can also count the seconds before a big event or in anticipation of something while using an hour glass. For example, if you have a big party in two hours, just set it to 2-hours on the hour glass. The advantage of the sand running down means that — yes, you are learning this party is on its way over! For instance, Children use an hour glass to play the minute everything from minutes drops off of or it is time for you return home from school. The hour glass is not only a time keeper but it is also an exciting way of knowing when you will have to wrap up!
An hour glass is sort of soothing to watch it go by. The sand trickles through the hole easily, at a painstakingly slow pace—one grain falls on top of another and you expect to feel comforting relaxation. It acts like this little biological clock for us to know what time it is in a subtle way. Meditation was even done by few using hour glasses. For it helps them to gather their thoughts and breathe slowly. The hour glass is one kind of a unique tool which can be used in lot many ways!
