I've been digging into the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek analog computer, and it's still a mystery in many ways. Have you heard about it?

Wow, yeah, the Antikythera mechanism is mind‑blowing—it's like an ancient smartwatch that tracked eclipses. The gears are so precise, it's still surprising how advanced they were. What part of it has you most intrigued? The astronomical models, the gear ratios, or how they might have built it?

The gear ratios always keep me up at night. I’m fascinated by how they achieved such precise ratios with hand‑cut bronze—almost like a secret math puzzle. Do you think they had a workshop of precision craftsmen, or was it more of a trial‑and‑error tinkering?
