Clickbait debunking :
1st : it’s a mechanism / not a computer,
2nd : it has nothing to do with gravitational waves but rather with some mathematic that was use to study those waves, and
3rd : there is no mystery, just clickbait as usual.

It’s an analog clockwork computer.

there is no mystery, just clickbait as usual.

There’s plenty of mysteries about it, hence why it’s still a topic of study despite being discovered 120 years ago.

Surprisingly, the inspiration for the paper came from a YouTuber who has been attempting to physically recreate the ancient mechanism.

I was just re-watching clickspring’s videos about this yesterday.
