Was the Antikythera Mechanism really used for time travel? Or was it actually the first Analogue Computer... In Indiana Jones ...

Argentinian scientists from the National University of Mar del Plata claim that the mysterious ancient mechanism is not ...

Only one-third of the Antikythera Mechanism remains, and currently, 82 rusty pieces, including 30 of its gears, are available. The device consists of a hand crank and a series of interlocking ...

The Antikythera Mechanism is a bronze gear mechanism from ancient Greece that was discovered in a sunken ship near the Mediterranean island of Antikythera in 1901. New research suggests that the ...

is that the so-called Antikythera Mechanism functioned as a kind of hand-operated mechanical computer. Consisting of up to 40 bronze cogs and gears, it allowed the ancient Greeks to predict the ...

For the study, which was submitted to the preprint server arXiv, the researchers created a virtual simulation of the Antikythera mechanism, which approximated how the box’s gears would have fit ...

The Antikythera mechanism, a mysterious ancient Greek device that is often called the world’s first computer, may not have functioned at all, according to a simulation of its workings.

Over the past two decades researchers have been analyzing this component to calculate how well the Antikythera mechanism functioned. Two major problems with the gear train have emerged.

suggesting the Antikythera Mechanism may never have worked as intended, that it was just a fancy knickknack. The triangular shape of the gear teeth wasn’t the issue, according to new simulations ...

Unfortunately, the Antikythera Mechanism spent more than two millennia buried at the bottom of the sea, and an unknown amount of time functioning before that. Its gears are highly corroded ...
