The Antikythera Mechanism Revived

[@582tird]

I actually believe we, as humans, have forgotten as much as we’ve learned.

[@lilSenDog]

Look how old automatons are too they were too complex to exist in antiquity yet there they are .

[@XenoXorpse]

​@@lilSenDogyeah 👍

[@mathdhut3603]

No, we haven't forgotten, and no, they weren't too complex to exist in antiquity. Humans have always been inventive and intelligent. Only modern humans have become so arrogant to think, only they are capable of genius and invention, when most of them don't even know which end of a hammer to hold.

[@DEATH14269]

​@@mathdhut3603yes well that's because they are brainwashed and degraded by corporate visions of grandeur and society. In society humans have no reason to become smarter. They have no reason to evolve. No predators no thinking...all automated like this machine. Weaker...dumber...ect... Our modern societys are dysfunctional and promote dysfunction and everything humans hate lmfao Modern humans are stupid. Plain and simple they polish a turd but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a turd. Past humans didn't industrialize their inventions onto people or monopolize. Knowledge was sacred and they knew what it could cause in the wrong hands Education was also limited before telecommunication

[@bairnonessie]

Collectively, I agree. However there are still some who remember and strive for the same quality, craftsmanship and pride.

[@apeman505]

So freaking cool, this just goes to show you that people have always been really, really smart. Human history actually goes back 190,000 years, and we have less than 10,000 years of it recorded.

[@camhadland6227]

My grandfather x-rayed this device for the smithsonian, and one of our machines produced that CT scan you can see at the beginning. I'm surprised you could find that raw scan movie online!

[@marcusm5127]

That is the background image of LT-Spice the most used advanced electronics simulator. I always wondered what it was. Very cool to get your story to connect it all.

[@Watchingin09]

No way!! That is so awesome!! What an intriguing device. Imagine other amazing devices lost to the hands of time.

[@rioborzeli147]

Glad for all this interesting info. Your grandfather was part of cool stuff . Take care

[@realMaverickBuckley]

What I always fund fascinating, is what causes mankind, or at least, ensure continents (because we've seen it in the Americas, North Africa, Middle East, Asia and Europe) to completely collapse/ take a huge leap backwards in progression. Is it natural climate issues, pandemics huge societal collapse or what?

[@harrisonbergeron9764]

The answer is simple Governments. When technology gets to a certain point within a society and the people become less and less dependent on those in power, they need to reign it in in order to maintain the power and control.

[@ArchitectOfTheEnd]

Greed. It has been, and always will be our demise

[@albukerke3322]

Read about “wave theory” of evolution. When peaking in something, there will always be a period of long stagnation, when the development of technologies will be limited to maximum knowledge at the moment. Therefore, other things will happen like wars, reinvention and modernisation, until next level of knowledge is be obtained to invent completely new things and open totally distinct knowledge. Thats it, in general.

I checked the comments to see if anyone mensioned him. Now im curious about who made this one

[@Kuchenwurst]

​@@guanoApethey said its doctor something something, don't care that much, I want to see Master Clickspring forge a 0,2mm hardened drill bit from some clay he scraped up in his backyard

[@666slayerules]

They could've done it, look up Clickspring

[@steve-us2hg]

I guess we all have our personal definition of the word handmade

[@jimmythe-gent]

So it’s not handmade because what, we don’t know if he casted the metal arms and plates himself?

[@timgoodliffe]

look up clickspring, i would qualify using a lathe as handmade

[@its_notta_cedar]

Don't link to the full video or anything...

[@Oldtimered]

Ever since I heard about this device, I thought it was made to find worm holes for distant travelers. The time peice that goes well with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Peace!

[@KlaxontheImpailr]

Has anyone tried making a heliocentric version? Or better yet, maybe a combo of the two?

[@laststand6420]

It probably wouldn't matter as from our frame of reference it would be the same.

[@KlaxontheImpailr]

@@laststand6420 not the point, I just want one that's scientifically accurate.

[@laststand6420]

@@KlaxontheImpailr That's what I am saying, it already is accurate because it is simply tracking the movement of the sun relative to the position of the user. That position is going to be the same whether it is modeled as the sun going around the Earth or the Earth spinning around the sun. As long as your measurements are accurate(which they may not be for a device this old), the relative position for both models will be identical.

Man fragte sich lange Zeit wie sie es geschafft haben ohne einen Teilapparat Zahnräder herzustellen. Ich habe selbst einmal Zahnräder herstellen müssen in der Ausbildung und das ist der blanke Horror. Der Trick ist, den Kreis erst einmal durch 6 zu teilen. Denn 6 ist sowohl duch 2 ( eine gerade Zahl) als auch durch 3 (eine ungerade Zahl) teilbar. Hat man es mit dem Zirkel ordentlich markiert kann man die einzelnen Zähne feilen, immer bis zu der Markierung am Grund. Da Messing schön Weich ist, geht das auch recht gut. Das Problem war allerdings eine Feile herzustellen die deutlich härter als Messing ist. Denn vor 2000 Jahren war gehärteter Stahl noch wirklich schwierig herzustellen.

[@franklinhernandez683]

This was nothing fancy but it was fancy for that time it was just something that like like a toy you say apple I would give you the word Apple the fact that they put it together change that they use their language dear mathematic and they measure so it's actually measurements it's not some magical measurement magical measurement doesn't exist measurement always incomplete because you can't measure the unmeasurable that's why in today's world everything has to be calibrated constantly because nothing is perfect but they did a good job of making it it's like a watch that tells the time the day of the month hear according to the people who built it the people who built it put all the equations

[@franklinhernandez683]

The fact that the machine couldn't tell them that was going to be a volcano eruption supposed to tell you that there was nothing magical just human ingenuity

[@91ΛιακοΣπαρτη91]

the most Invention what happened is Electricity. the electricity was an invention the 600 BC. Thales the Milesian with the rest of the Greeks discovered electricity. very short history: He recognised that a force was present after he rubbed the amber and called it 'electric force' and he invented the first electrical measuring instrument - the electroscope - so that he could collect data to help him get a better understanding of static electricity.

[@DEATH14269]

We act like we invented water aswell we discovered the used and the ability to harness these energys

[@aregulargenericname8794]

Greep cope

[@yakut9876]

The most important inventions / discoveries that occurred throughout human history is Mechanics. The Science Of Mechanics is the ruler of the world ( after ALLAH ), from the subatomic world to the giant scales. Even electricity is considered within the science of Mechanics and one of its applications. The devices you mentioned, such as the static electricity generator and the static charge meter, are all Mechanical Devices and an application of the science of Mechanics. Human life was moving forward even without the need for electricity.

[@91ΛιακοΣπαρτη91]

​@@yakut9876 yes, obviously electricity it is an intermediate tool because thanks to engineering it was discovered as well as the engineering that was created and invented by the ancient Greeks because we are talking about engineering with all that this implies. a small example: Archimedes, Agesistratus, Athenius, Tacticus, Andronikos, Cyrustheus, Aristobulus, Cassandreus, Diades, Pellaeus, Empedocles, Acragantineus, Eupalinus, Heron, Thales the eloquent, Themistagoras, Alexandreus, Carpus, Antiochus, and how many others who will I need time to write and let you know the names of one the Greeks are the ones who discovered everything. on the one hand, you should know that history is not for small underdeveloped minds, on the other hand, history is Greek, as is the language, and thanks to Greek alphabet, all other alphabets were created and greeks we receive from you half-Hellenism, treason and so much more. If I continue this, you won't know where to go.
