Mecanismul de la Antikythera: "Primul computer din lume" era capabil să prezică eclipsele acum peste 2.000 de ani

The Antikythera mechanism, discovered in 1901, is an ancient bronze device that tracks celestial cycles and predicts eclipses, considered the first analog computer. Found in a Roman shipwreck, it dates back to 150-100 BC and is housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. The mechanism features over 30 bronze gears and was designed to model lunar and solar cycles. Despite its historical significance, studies reveal inaccuracies in its predictions, raising questions about its functionality. Interest in the mechanism remains high, with educational replicas created worldwide.
