The bridge was designed in 1748 by William Etheridge (1709–76), and was built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–84). It has subsequently been repaired in 1866 and rebuilt to the same design in 1905.

Dicen por ahí que Newton construyó este puente, que une dos partes del Queen's College, sin utilizar ni un solo clavo. Y que más tarde, unos estudiantes lo desmontaron para analizar su estructura e intentaron volver a construirlo, pero fueron incapaces y necesitaron tornillos para dejarlo como estaba.

This nearly mint copy (just a few scuffs and page yellowing because of the paper grade) has awesome illustrations made by the amazingly talented Lowell Hess. Text by Irving Adler.

Thought this looked like a macro shot of an ant's head!
The Mathematical Bridge (The Wooden Bridge)
I was once told that this bridge was built by Newton without Nuts and Bolts, but Newton died in 1727 a couple of decades before it was built. This is a well known myth.
In fact the bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design.

“The calendar was a mathematical progression with arbitrary surprises.”
(From "The Towers of Silence" by Paul Scott)
This is the fabulous Astronomical Calendar which is on the bell tower of the 12th century Cathedral standing at Piazza Duomo in Messina (Sicily).
This incredible machine takes life every day at noon and tells the story of the city.

A couple of different exposures of the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' college. Contrary to punt guide tales, it has nothing to do with Isaac Newton.

Walking back to Surfers along the beach front.
James Beattie, a farmer, became the first European to settle in the area when he staked out an 80-acre (32 ha) farm on the northern bank of the Nerang River, close to present-day Cavill Avenue. The farm proved unsuccessful and was sold in 1877 to German immigrant Johan Meyer, who turned the land into a sugar farm and mill. Meyer also had little luck growing in the sandy soil and within a decade had auctioned the farm and started a ferry service and built the Main Beach hotel. By 1889, Meyer's hotel had become a post receiving office and subdivisions surrounding it were named Elston, named by the Southport postmaster after his wife's home in Southport, Lancashire, England. The Main Beach Hotel licence lapsed after Meyer's death in 1901 and for 16 years Elston was a tourist town without a hotel or post office.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was centred on this area and the first of the tall apartment buildings were constructed in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains, although later reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges to those islands, have created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach — a low-scale open area on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating, fishing and swimming.
Some minor changes have occurred in extending the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road is now a focus of activity, with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the density of development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from as far south as Coolangatta and from the mountain resorts of the hinterland.

We have to live with the idea that we can rely on our intelligence and our senses (otherwise normal living wouldn't be possible). Our intelligence says that 2x3 is the same as 3x2. But if we see with our senses that 2x3 can be different from 3x2 (two different underlying structures) then we can get confused. Is there more than we can see or reason?
