"Millennium Camera" to take a 1k-year long-exposure photo

Wouldn't 1k years just result in an over-exposed photo and thereby rendering it blank in the end? The article doesn't specify if the material can even hold out for that long.

Even if it wasn’t overexposed, it’s not like it’d end up as a single transparent house superimposed on its absence… you’re just going to end up either layers and layers of transparent objects and render it unparsable. Over a thousand years, probably the only thing that might hope to be interpretable is the actual geography

1K years sounds far-fetched, it seems just as possible the framework holding up the pinhole camera will fail before then.

The longest exposure photo is about 8 years, and it looks quite good.

australian aboriginal paintings show similar perspective - a bit like 1-10-100-years "exposure" of what has stayed at certain place.. what lasted.

Bones of some lizard. Grooves in sand.. Remnants..

Stupidest. Idea. Ever.
