SIX SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL WEBSITES & ONE PHILOSOPHY
The Astrolabe
The ancestor of the smartphone, and the geniuses that created it.
The predecessor of the smartphone was an alchemist designed astrolabe called a “star-taker” in Greek. It was the do-everything device in Europe and into the Islamic world by the 8th century. It’s a good bet that the people who designed them were pretty smart, and that’s where Eastwood comes in.
Eastwood was only 13 years of age when he was invited to work on a secret invention in a private research and development facility owned by a Yale University professor. The invention Eastwood was directed to work on was a modern version of an astrolabe accurate enough to be used by a surveyor but going by only the position of the sun in the sky.
While astrolabes are often associated with the educated elite, Eastwood isn’t an elite in the conventional sense. Eastwood is an iconoclast; someone who sees things differently than others do, like Galileo or Nicolaus Copernicus who may have been the first to describe the solar system as we understand it to be today.
