Clock Design for Zeta Zeros Mechanic Calculator

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of integrating the Zeta Function Zero into a mechanical calculator designed for prime number analysis. Mustafa Umut Sarac references the historical context of Alan Turing's mechanical calculators, specifically a $2000 model, and expresses interest in creating a compact mechanical device that embodies mathematical principles related to prime numbers. The conversation highlights the potential for mechanical design to reflect mathematical regularities, particularly in relation to the Zeta Function.

I first met with the prime numbers problem at a greek novel and than I interested with the works of Cahit Arf.

Please correct me , Zeta Function Zero is a proof to tell , there is a mechanical relation at all prime numbers , and there is a regularity.

If this is correct , it would be very exciting to do this math at a mechanical desk clock .

I read Alan Turing paid by the britons to build 2000 dollars worth of mechanical calculator.

What do you think ? How one could put such a mechanical calculator into a very
small area ?

Best ,

I have no idea how you are conecting the zeta function with a clock. Could you give more details?
