Gravitational Wave Experts Discover 'Remarkable' Ancient Computer's Secrets

'It's given me a new appreciation for the Antikythera mechanism,' scientist Joseph Bayley said.

Special techniques used to study ripples in the universe may have helped researchers solve an ancient mystery.Statistical modeling methods that were developed to study gravitational waves have been used to predict the structure of a broken section of a millennia-old artifact, according to a new paper in The Horological Journal.

'If holes adjacent to fractures are removed from the analysis, our estimate becomes 354.08. A ring of 360 holes is strongly disfavoured, and one of 365 holes is not plausible, given our model assumptions.'This mystery was solved using similar statistical modeling techniques as those used to study gravitational waves, which are ripples in the fabric of spacetime created by the movement of massive objects traveling outward from the source.

A mission to Uranus could also be a gravitational wave detectorDespite being extraordinarily difficult to detect for the first time, gravitational waves can be found using plenty of different techniques. The now-famous first detection at LIGO in 2015 was just one of the various ways scientists had been looking.
