It can be used as a decoration. In fact, I want to put it in my house as a decoration since I think it looks cool. But its actual purpose is not at all decorational.

Does it change with time?

The object itself doesn't change with time. But time is certainly essential. It would be rather useless without it.

Is it either time measuring or length measuring device ? (Trying to union sets)
You don't need to tell which one, just a 'yes' if it falls on either of the categories.
 
  • #169
Yes.

Measures time?

Did you use any mathematical logic in any of your answers?

PS. This is not a question for the game. ^2

Maybe you should ignore the question whether gravity is needed. I think it is needed, but I don't know enough physics to be sure.

You would definitely need glass for that answer, which is not the case here.

Hmm, are you sure there is no light involved here, micro? Sun light, or lighting stuff?

Yes, light is very important. But you asked "Is it light?", which it is not.
