The reading and the listening materials have a debate on " burning mirror" as a advanced weapon which are used by Greek against Roman navy. The writer puts forward 3 main hypotheses, which are refuted by following speaker.
First, the writer proposes that ancient Greek knowledge was low and they did not know the technology for making burning mirror with parabolic curvature. While, the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle. According to her Greeks can easily make the needed instrument ; because many small mirror could produce the precise parabolic shape.
The second preposition offered by writer is that at least 10 minutes time is needed for focusing the sun's rays, and then firing a wooden part of ship, in addition, in this time the ship should not move, in conclusion, this device is not practical. However, the speaker casts doubt on this assumption by saying that there is other material in ship that can fire easily in few seconds such as water-proof agent or perch even in ship-moving situation. As a result, it is not needed to 10 minutes time.
Lastly, the writer suggests that flaming arrows had similar application in Greeks wars, So it was unnecessary for making burning mirror. On contrary, the speaker holds an opposite view. She explains that burning mirrors were more effective that flaming arrows, because the later ones were applied by solders. The Rome navy could see them easily, but the burning mirrors could surprise them.
