Lol!
You have all the critical thinking skills of a dead gnat...
: Scientists have long struggled to solve the puzzle of the gearing system on : the front of the so-called Antikythera mechanism
Scientists? What kind of scientists? Botanists are scientists, do they mean Botanists? If that's not what they mean then why don't they spell out what
they do mean?
: Now, an interdisciplinary team
It's an engineering problem. What on earth could possibly lead anyone to believe that "an interdisciplinary team" would be appropriate? HOW could
they ever think such a thing?
Did it just never occur to anyone to ask these questions?
I mean, what usefulness would all these Botanists & Exobiologists have
in reconstructing the Antikythera Mechanism?
Hmm?
Again: It's an engineering problem.
Well. Turns out the story answers my questions:
: Now, an interdisciplinary team at University College London (UCL) has come
: up with a computational model that reveals a dazzling display of the ancient : Greek cosmos
So in reality it's their model, not the mechanism. THEY came up with a model and they're linking it to or somehow attributing it to the mechanism...
Wow. I mean, gosh. I can see why you're so impressed...
Seriously though, if this is an example of your reading comprehension, how
good you are at gleaming information from the written word, it's a wonder
you survived for this long. One would have suspected that you would have
killed yourself long ago, being a toaster over into the bathtub with you...
And just to put you on the spot; go ahead and explain your position here.
NOT what you think the story says, but what YOU think the truth is...
You can't. You haven't got it in you to try. You would not have invented this sock puppet in the first place if you did have the gumption...
