As someone with a simple and well loved garden sundial made of a rough concrete, your description of the 3D Sundial brought a smile. What would the ancients think. :-)
Yes, we do live in interesting and wonderful times of discovery and application. You stated:

I have not done this yet, but thanks to you. I am encouraged. Drinking a glass of wine at an airport and creating something that is miles away from you.
Fascinating....and truly ingenious! In other happenings, I was today years old when I learned that argon is more than 20 times as abundant in air as carbon dioxide. Bizarrely, it is more than 500 times as abundant as neon, despite neon being much lower on the periodic table (and so one would imagine potentially more abundant). The reason, AI informs me, is that most of the neon is primordial, whereas fresh argon is constantly being produced by the decay of potassium40 in the crust.
Yes, it does make you stop and think. Fossil fuels, when burned, release enormous amounts of CO₂, which is the raw material plants use for photosynthesis.
I love Retsina. It’s like Haiku, which sometimes juxtaposes seemingly discordant ideas close together to create a greater meaning than their parts.

You missed at least two opportunities to utilize the word "physible"!
Ha! Duly noted for the next opportunity.

Pass the Retsina! Enjoy the World Cup Final! New York was ablaze yesterday with thunderstorms alongside soccer kits/jerseys.⚽️❤️🇪🇸

Plant life votes unanimously for fossil fuels!
