The intricacies of the oldest computer have been solved
Scientists have recently redesigned a 2,000-year-old device called the world's oldest computer. Experts are trying to figure out how this device works. Researchers have been researching this tool for many years. It came from Greece in 1901 found in the Roman sinking ship. It runs by the energy of the hand. It is thought that it was used to predict solar or lunar eclipses as well as other astronomical events, but about two-thirds of the device was destroyed due to which the experts could not rebuild it and try to figure out what it looked like.
In previous research, the mechanism behind it was resolved. However, its complex gear system remains a mystery. But now scientists at University College London believe that they have solved the puzzle with the help of 3D computer modeling. Now they hope to use modern materials they will make a perfect example of this tool. Professor Tony Freith, who led the study, said: That ancient Greek intelligence is evident from the fact that it clearly shows the sun, moon, and other planets.
This model is consistent with all existing evidence and according to the mechanical writing on it, this device has also been called an astronomical calculator and it is also known as the world's first analog computer. It was made of copper and it had dozens of gears. That's why scientists have had to build the rest of it with the help of X-rays and a Greek mathematical model.
