The Antikythera Mechanism - rebuilt 100 BCE analog computer
Greetings and Salutations
The Antikythera Mechanism – that's the gears and stuff found in 1900 in a shipwreck from about 150-100 BC. We'll start with the cool link with the pictures: http://www.neatorama.com/2009/11/30/...-be-so-modern/ Scroll down, there's a video clip of the finished project. and the 'home page' http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/ with links to radiographic scans, and other fun things. Oh, and this is all about cars, from a European Perspective ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZXZkW1N3Ig and watch the rest ... - pyotr filipivich. as an explaination for the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |

And as the imaging tech has improved, they could get better discrimination on what was under the surface. I remember a sci-fi story where they find an astronaut, trapped by cave-in on the moon. Only - nobody is missing. This that and the other, he's been there for - oh, 50,000 years.

There is actually a lot of truth to the quote, but it does not apply as universally as I used to think. Franklin himself gave a hint to your question. Gunner clipped the quote just before this: "There is no country in the world where so many provisions are established for them; so many hospitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded and maintained by voluntary charities; so many alms-houses for the aged of both sexes, together with a solemn general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a heavy tax for the support of the poor. Under all these obligations, are our poor modest, humble, and thankful; and do they use their best endeavours to maintain themselves, and lighten our shoulders of this burthen? -- On the contrary..." -- Ed Huntress |

Let the Record show that Gunner Asch on or

And here he makes a presentation which makes sense. http://www.jamesphogan.com/books/inf...mple&sample=79 Absolutely fascinating! I was only vaguely aware of Velikovsky..and after reading about his data and reports....Im stunned! Way cool!! Wild ain't it? Not only is the world stranger than we imagine, but sometimes stranger than we can imagine. Which scares me not one iota. (Although I keep in mind that while a lot of"crazy" theories proved to be true, far more were proved to be crazy.) I ran into Velikovsky reading what's his name book "Chariot of the Gods". Don't bother - when he can't even get straight something from the Hebrew Bible (mislocating an even by about six books and 500 years +/-) the rest of his research is suspect. On a side note, I've had several books which purport to demonstrate that the activities in the Pentateuch were inspired by Aliens & Flying Saucers. 'Sufficiently high enough technology is indistinguishable from magic' but doesn't address the question of "quo bono?" But I read Velikovsky, and went "wow" - and thought little more of it. Now ... Wow! Farm out and all the rest. Truly God has created an awe inspiring universe. - pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |

Gunner Gunner, I have "The Velikovsky Affair" Edited by Alfred deGrazia . I bought this back in the 70s (I think) when there was the big flap over Worlds in Collision which I had read as well as Earth in Upheaval and the other one ? .(Ah! Ages in Chaos) If you would like to read it I'll be glad to ship it to you. I followed the Pense' articles also. I still think it's one of the biggest "black eyes" the scientific community has ever had. It makes Copernicus 's recantation by the Catholic church look like a grade school brawl. ...Lew... Yah...I got that impression from the article. Ill look for the book online. If I cant find it..Ill borrow it from you. And thanks! Gunner "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766 |
