For most of human history, we have led not just an earthly existence but a cosmic one. Celestial cycles drove every aspect of our daily lives.

Das Rätsel um den ältesten Computer der WeltEigentlich dürfte es ihn gar nicht geben, so modern ist er: der mechanische Kalendercomputer von Antikythera, ein Apparat, mit dem die Griechen um 100 vor Christus verschiedenste Kalendarien und Zeitz yklen vorausberechnen konnten, dazu die Bewegung der Himelsk örper , den Verlauf von Sonne und Mond durch den altägyptischen Tierkreis und vieles mehr. Eine analoge Rechenmaschine auf hohem Niveau, die ...
