The Antikythera mechanism

The Antikythera mechanism (/ˌæntᵻkᵻˈθɪərə/ ant-i-ki-theer-ə or /ˌæntᵻˈkɪθərə/ ant-i-kith-ə-rə) is an ancient analogue computer^[1][2][3][4] and orrery used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses for calendrical and astrological purposes,^[5][6][7] as well as the Olympiads, the cycles of the ancient Olympic Games.^[8][9]

Found housed in a 340 millimetres (13 in) × 180 millimetres (7.1 in) × 90 millimetres (3.5 in) wooden box, the device is a complex clockwork mechanism composed of at least 30 meshing bronze gears. Its remains were found as one lump, later separated in three main fragments, which are now divided into 82 separate fragments after conservation works. Four of these fragments contain gears, while inscriptions are found on many others.^[10][11] The largest gear (clearly visible in Fragment A at right) is approximately 140 millimetres (5.5 in) in diameter and originally had 223 teeth.

The artefact was recovered probably in July 1901^[12] from the Antikythera shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera.^[13] Believed to have been designed and constructed by Greek scientists, the instrument has been dated either between 150 and 100 BC,^[5] or, according to a more recent view, in 205 BC.^[14][15]

After the knowledge of this technology was lost at some point in antiquity, technological artefacts approaching its complexity and workmanship did not appear again until the development of mechanical astronomical clocks in Europe in the fourteenth century.^[16]

All known fragments of the Antikythera mechanism are kept at the National Archaeological Museum, in Athens, along with a number of artistic reconstructions of how the mechanism may have looked.^[17]

To live beyond one's century

"To live beyond one's century, then, one must appeal to principles that are more lasting and to readers who are less thoughtless."

Umberto Boccioni

" His critical and rebellious nature, and overall intellectual ability, would contribute substantially to the development of the Futurism movement."

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences

"the enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and that there is no rational explanation for it."


"he miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research and that it will extend, for better or for worse, to our pleasure, even though perhaps also to our bafflement, to wide branches of learning."

Eugene Wigner
