Researchers at the University of Glasgow have made a breakthrough in studying the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient computer found in a shipwreck from the second century BC, using cutting-edge gravitational wave research techniques originally designed for analyzing celestial events. By applying statistical modeling, they suggest that the mechanism was likely used to track the Greek lunar year, shedding new light on this ancient artifact that has puzzled scientists for over a century.
