Antikythera mechanism

Athens- Baffling scientists for decades, the Antikythera Mechanism, an ancient astronomical computer, now has some more evidence as to just how old it is. Recent radiocarbon dating done on this device shows that it is from 150-100 BCE. Radiocarbon dating is based on the principal that radioactive carbon-dioxide found in minerals and rocks decays at a predictable rate. Radiocarbon is constantly being created in the atmosphere when cosmic rays interact with atmospheric nitrogen. When rocks and minerals are taken out of their environment, the radioactive carbon-dioxide starts to decay. By measuring this decay, scientists were able to pinpoint the date of creation of the Antikythera Mechanism to 150-100 BCE. Faking something like this is borderline…

Dressed as he generally would, with no fancy attributes, John Paul struck me as a humorous and whimsical person. When we met each other for the first time, I expected quite a few jokes to be cracked and numerous humorous moments to come my way.
