TIME
MACHINE
(Publication
Date: April 13, 2007)
The project I have been working on for many years has finally paid off.
The name of my project: Time machine…
Yes, I have found the time machine.
Is there anyone among you who wants to try it?
***
Time Machine!
Just imagine what we could do with this machine!
The first place I’ll go will probably be the years when dinosaurs lived.
Then I’ll go back to the times when the Ottoman Empire was founded.
Then, the Stone Age, the Paleolithic Age, the Neolithic Age, and so on—I’ll take a good look around all those Stone Ages.
Oh, and I never got to meet either of my grandfathers. I’d like to see them and have a brief chat.
I’m not worried about “changing history,” so I’ll be the one to discover America.
I also have a thing or two to say to Napoleon: “What’s with all this ‘money, money, money’?” and so on…
My greatest dream is to get the chance to meet Atatürk.
Well, after all those years of work and effort, I deserve to do these things…

Of course, I don’t actually have a time machine! (Unfortunately) These are just my ramblings.
But there is an exhibition in our country that is no fantasy, and that you can travel through time at: The works, consisting of reproductions of Da Vinci’s designs, will be exhibited through a collaboration between the exhibition representative THE PARTNERS and Near East University at Near East University until May 6, between 09–20.
You must have followed the detailed information about it in the press.
As you know, Da Vinci wasn’t just a cryptographer we know from Dan Brown’s book ‘The Da Vinci Code’!
He was an Italian Renaissance artist, regarded as a genius of the Renaissance, who generously applied his genius to many fields, including painting, architecture, engineering, music, anatomy, sculpture, and geometry.
That’s why I’d rather talk about the Renaissance period.
I think it would be good to give you at least a little information about it.
“Although today’s historians view it with skepticism, the Renaissance is traditionally understood as the historical period between the Middle Ages and the Reformation. The Italian Renaissance of the 15th century re-established the connection between the West and classical antiquity. Arab science—especially mathematics—was adopted, experimentation was revived, and the importance of life was emphasized (for example, Renaissance humanism). With the invention of the printing press and the emergence of new techniques in art, poetry, and architecture, knowledge could spread, and a radical change began.
This era also paved the way for Europe’s rise through trade and exploration, after a long period of decline. The Italian Renaissance is considered the beginning of this period. Source: Wikipedia” The works exhibited in our country are designs by the artist Da Vinci from that period, and in my opinion, visiting this exhibition will be a wonderful experience.
So, as soon as you get the chance, go to
this exhibition.
By the way, the exhibition features 40 machines, manufactured after Leonardo da Vinci’s designs were examined in detail by a group of scientists and experienced craftspeople.
Another reason I want you to visit the exhibition is that, besides being unique and featuring machines built to their actual size, they work; the most enjoyable part is that (according to a statement from the university) visitors can touch and operate these machines.
A moment ago, I shared my dream of a “time machine” with you.
You don’t necessarily need a time machine to see those periods!
There are already many fields of science and scientists working day and night to tell us about the past.
This exhibition has the power to take you on a journey through time; I don’t think you should miss it...
Be respectful in traffic!
Note: I must admit, when I heard that the exhibition was in Turkey, I was very sad that I couldn’t go (and a little jealous).
Now it’s in our country, thanks to NEU; many thanks to NEU for giving us this opportunity. I can’t wait for my health to improve so I can visit the exhibition.
