Scientists Baffled By 2 000 Year Old Computer Discovered 120 Years Ago In this episode, we examine the impossible engineering behind the world’s first known analog computer, its ability to predict eclipses and planetary motion, and the unsettling question: how did. Discover the antikythera mechanism — a 2,000 year old greek analog computer that predicted the cosmos with jaw dropping precision.
Dissecting The Antikythera Mechanism 2 000 Year Old Computer Found The antikythera mechanism, often described as the world’s first computer, is a 2,000 year old astronomical calculator that has reshaped our understanding of ancient technology. The sponge divers who brought the corroded bronze lump to the surface had no idea they had just recovered an ancient marvel now considered the world’s oldest analog computer, dating back to around 100 bce. A 2,000 year old device often referred to as the world's oldest "computer" has been recreated by scientists trying to understand how it worked. Two years passed before the bronze pieces received any significant notice in 1902. archaeologist valerios stais examine the pieces and noticed what appeared to be a gear protruding from the encrusted coral. stais was the first to suggest that the device was some type of astronomical device.
Divers Find 2 000 Year Old Computer That Calculated Position Of Sun A 2,000 year old device often referred to as the world's oldest "computer" has been recreated by scientists trying to understand how it worked. Two years passed before the bronze pieces received any significant notice in 1902. archaeologist valerios stais examine the pieces and noticed what appeared to be a gear protruding from the encrusted coral. stais was the first to suggest that the device was some type of astronomical device. First discovered by divers in 1901, the 2,000 year old antikythera mechanism used tiny gears to track heavenly bodies with such precision that it's called history's oldest computer. Help to solve the mystery of a 2,200 year old ‘computer’ has come from an unlikely source – a r. the antikythera mechanism is believed to be the earliest surviving mechanical computing device. Ancient tech the 2000 year old computer this strange, corroded mechanical device was built around the first century bc and is considered the earliest known computer. The antikythera mechanism is a fragmentarily preserved hellenistic astronomical machine with bronze gearwheels, made about the second century b.c. scientists have finally demystified the incredible workings of a 2,000 year old astronomical calculator built by ancient greeks.
