All of the book’s scientific and historical knowledge is offered through the answers given by the most distinguished researchers of the field to specific questions in interviews, looking for answers that help us understand what really interests and concerns us all. I think this approach can lead to better results for the intended readership of this book than the standard presentation for academic journals or museum catalogues. Well, is the Antikythera Mechanism related to the gearbox in cars, to Kepler’s second law? What delayed the spread of technological knowledge already acquired by ancient Greeks, creating a gap of a thousand years in history? And, finally, is this the same knowledge that reaches all the way to modern-day wristwatches and other modern devices and applications? Did the ancient Greeks invent the computer? In the book’s novel approach, the most profound and sophisticated scientific research conducted by outstanding scientists is presented in an extensive and creative manner, while the material also reaches out to the book’s readers and answers their questions, poses new ones, fills them with strength, pride and inspiration. It even becomes a game, both constructive and instructive – a game played in the classroom or with LEGO bricks.
