1900年,考古界在希腊海域的海底发现了一艘沉船,船里有各种宝藏,还有一个被腐蚀得看不清的神秘机械装置残骸。这个神秘的装置被命名为Antikythera,被发现时仅仅剩下82个碎片,微小的碎片全部遭到腐蚀,科学家用了各种方法想要研究出这个装置究竟用什么组成,是干什么用的。直到2006及2008年,某科学期刊上发表出碎片的断层摄影分析,一切才浮出水面。Antikythera可u以说是目前已知的第一台机械式计算机,比中世纪在欧洲主要城市完全同规格的第一座天文钟,整整早了千年之久。可它不是一个时钟,而是真正的宇宙仪,或称之为月球仪,能显示多种天文周期。
In 1900, an archeological community discovered a shipwreck on the seabed of the Greek Sea, where there were various kinds of treasure and a mysterious remains of mysterious machinery that could not be seen. The mysterious device, named Antikythera, was found to contain only 82 fragments, all of which were eroded by tiny fragments of debris. Scientists used various methods to find out exactly what the device was made of and how it was used. Until 2006 and 2008, a scientific journal published fragment tomography analysis, everything came to the surface. Antikythera can be said to be the first mechanical computer known so far, a full millennium earlier than the first astronomical clock of the same specification of the Middle Ages in major European cities. But it is not a clock, but a real universe, or lunar instrument, capable of displaying many astronomical cycles.
