I have absolutely no idea what that pictogram means. But my prediction came true, so for my next trick I will predict the exact current location of the cube...

 		I think I was trying to say something like: "I came by --> happily obliged --> now I'm off to get coffee." Now I suddenly miss isketch...

Also, hm, we've gone all off-topic in an off-topic thread Jetpack

 		not sure where to put this so i chose here Smile

But it is a CUBE and an archeological artifact with strange scientific and religeous significance in the story


i read it a few years ago

Quote:
Artifact
Gregory Benford
Orbit paperback £6.99

review by Peter Schilling

Like Greg Bear's intriguing Cosm, this is another one of those tales of a scientific discovery that seems at first like it really ought to change the world, but doesn't. It causes ripples in the big pond, a few inadvertent deaths (of minor characters), and it makes or breaks the professional careers and affects the private lives of its central characters but, even with all that going on, this dramatic and exciting, yet nonetheless straightforward narrative tends - perhaps for the sake of authorial expediency - to shy away from confronting paradigm shifts or political upheaval.
Claire's a dedicated archaeologist whose feminist principles set her against the bullying and ambitious soldier-scientist in control of the Greek dig site where she has found a strange object. Unearthed from a hidden chamber in an ancient tomb, Claire's discovery turns out to be of more interest to physicists studying matter in bizarre quantum states, than shifters of dust and collectors of broken pots.
There are hints of a hard-SF threat to the planet, of course. Partly conjured up by various hurriedly described events involving gravitationally attractive particles of exotic matter burrowing, like unstoppable nuclear moles, through the Earth's deep crust, and partly the result of misunderstandings between various scientific groups vying for control of experiments on the enigmatic artifact of the title, and the disinformation spread by US government intervention in Mediterranean cultural affairs. What remains, after the mind-boggling physics problems have all been solved (or at least prevented from being used as a weapon of mass destruction) and the brouhaha of international diplomacy and US sabre-rattling subsides, is simply another of those interminable modern American romances.
Very Happy Very Happy

Why do you think they travelled back in time? All I can see is BC in perplex city working like our own BC and traveling up to zero and AC working like our AD counting from zero up...

 		“metamaterial” cube
I was brainstorming on the properties of the Cube today, especially on the known reactions of the cube with water, liquid mercury, and acetone.
And to make it short I came to the conclution that the cube might be made of a copper alloy (chemical reactions) and when I Googled "Copper Cube" just for fun I found this link.
