Eh, even we think it's a reach to connect antikythera to George H W Bush like that.

Wonder if there are common origins of Antikhytera and Sanskrit word for cosmos, Antariksha.

There is no connection. Antikyhtera is the name of the Greek island near where the device was found.

The mechanism is named after an island near to where it was found. It was found in a wrecked roman ship, the island name is contemporary Greek.

So it would be a coincidence, likely without much meaning.

Antikythera is the name of the location where the archeological discovery of the mechanism was made. Its origins are unknown.

Thus the mechanism has no relation to the sanskrit word.
