NINNA.ID – The first human-made computer, also known as the “Antikythera mechanism,” was discovered in 1901 among the wreckage of an ancient ship on the Greek island of Antikythera.
After further research, it was discovered that this mechanism was a device that could show the phases of the moon, the positions of the Sun and Moon, and the movements of the planets.
The Antikythera mechanism is thought to have been made around 100-150 BC and is one of the most important technological discoveries of ancient times.
Although it is not known for sure who built this mechanism, it is thought that it was created by the leading scientists and mathematicians in Greece at that time.
The Antikythera mechanism consisted of 32 cogs and 2 arms, each of which indicated the position of the Moon and Sun on each day of the year.
In the following centuries, this tool was used by Greek fishermen and sailors to tell time and navigate at sea.
The Antikythera Mechanism was also able to show the motions of the planets known at that time, namely Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
The present invention includes a mechanism for performing very complex mathematical calculations, such as cycles Metonikwhich combines the lunar and solar calendars.
The discovery of the Antikythera mechanism shows that the ancient Greek civilization was very advanced in technology and mathematics. Since this discovery, many modern mathematicians and scientists have become interested in studying this mechanism.
They are trying to understand the technology that went into making this mechanism, as well as fixing some of the defects in it.
In recent years, some modern technologists have even attempted to manufacture a replica of the Antikythera mechanism using modern technology.
They seek to understand how this mechanism works and discover possible modern applications for this technology.
The Antikythera mechanism is clear evidence of the technological and mathematical sophistication of the ancient Greeks.
This discovery shows that humans have explored the ability of data processing and mathematical calculations since ancient times.
The Antikythera Mechanisms show how important the use of technology and mathematical knowledge is in everyday life and how they can help us understand the complex universe.
Although the Antikythera mechanism is a very important technological discovery, there is not much historical record that mentions about this mechanism.
As the ancient Greek civilization collapsed, the Antikythera mechanism was nearly forgotten for centuries.
It wasn’t until the 19th century that archaeologists excavated the ship wreckage at Antikythera and uncovered several ancient objects that turned out to be Antikythera mechanisms.
At that time, mathematicians and scientists did not fully understand the technology used to build the Antikythera mechanism.
However, after several years of research, it is finally possible to understand how this mechanism works and discover the various functions that are very complex in it.
Since the discovery of the Antikythera mechanism, computer technology has advanced tremendously. Although this mechanism is far from being a computer as we know it today, it has played an important role in the history of the development of computer technology.
In fact, there are many technologists who study the Antikythera mechanism to develop modern technologies.
In recent years, the Antikythera mechanism has attracted the attention of mathematicians and archaeologists. They try to study every detail in this mechanism and understand how it works.
There are also a number of technologists trying to replicate the Antikythera mechanism using modern technology, making it accessible to more people and expanding understanding of this technology.
The Antikythera Mechanism is a very important technological invention in the history of human civilization.
This mechanism shows that in ancient Greece, humans already had the ability to create very complex devices to perform mathematical calculations and indicate the positions of planets and other celestial bodies.
In addition, the discovery of the Antikythera mechanism also provides lessons about how important technology and mathematical knowledge are in everyday life and how technology can help us understand a complex world.
