Note: A Turing machine is a *theoretical* machine that operates with infinite memory. It’s not a real machine, but rather a mathematical construct used to classify what types of problems can be solved by a machine. I think the word you are looking for is *turing complete*. Any machine (or programming language) that is Turing complete can be said to simulate a Turing machine and thus be able to solve the same types of problems.
@@Wetefah I felt the same way, I was not convinced that this marble setup is actually Turing complete, then I looked it up, turns out I was right. The parts shown in this video are not enough to make the computer turing complete, you actually need a bit of gearing included in this kit in order to emulate a turing machine.
You can make a " random number generator" Then use it's out put to prime a second board Or several boards on the second layer and And depending on how far you you want to deviate Alternatively you can do this all on a huge board but will be messy
That was amazing! I've seen the film about Alan Turing and how he built his computer to decipher enigma. But just watching how this works in miniature and that it really does come up with the correct answers is totally fascinating. Thank you for sharing this.
As someone in the IT world who understands WHAT the hardware is capable of doing, this was an incredible explanation of a concept I've struggled to understand, which is HOW the hardware does what is does. Thank you!
Image one guy that can add two 8-bit binary numbers together in a second. Now imagine 8 of those guys working as a team to add two 64 bit numbers together in a second. Now imagine a warehouse of 1000 teams adding numbers together. Now imagine 1000 of these warehouses. Now, in about 20 minutes, these 1000 warehouses can add up as many numbers as a computer can in 1 second.
Interesting facts: - both with addition and subtraction, the left register always decrements and the right register increments or decrements, respectively. - flippers setup for incrementing is the exact mirror of that for decrementing. - incrementing setup is made so: --- top most bit (most insignificant bit) flipper always flip --- any bit that happens to flip to the right (0 -> 1) takes a route to avoid all bits below it --- any bit that happens to flip to the left (1 -> 0) flips the bit immediately below.
Great video, here are some notes. The machine in the video is neither a CPU nor a Turing machine since it can only be programmed to perform one instruction and stop. It has only a handful of hand-programmed registers, no other memory, and each instruction it can perform must be hand programmed. You could call it a hand-programmable ALU (Arithmetic-Logic Unit). To be a CPU it would also need to be able to execute a series of instructions automatically, including branches and jumps. To get a Turing machine it would also need an expandable memory bank added to it. You can use this machine as a building block for making an actual computer, but such a computer would be so much bigger and much more complicated, probably taking up an entire room.
This is actually a game with puzzles and even a plot where you fix a computer and find out many things about the mysterious planet you are stranded on.
I’m a little confused. Why did it take 10 balls to add 5 & 8? How does the machine know when to stop sending balls? Or was that manual? Edit: I see it, the final ball is caught after 13 is reached and not allowed to follow through to activate the ball drop lever. Actually that could have been pointed out. Thank you.
Yeah, I had to watch them all on slo-mo a few times to understand. He could have added a real time decimal counters for each register to show the current values and slowed down the marble drops to make it clearer but it's still a great video!
That's what programmers do :) They invent algorithms, whether they are computed by a so-basic machine or a computer! The "smarter" the programmer is, the more efficient the algorithm will be.
Computer science undergrad here, the way they did it is building abstractions over abstractions, with a bunch of transistors you can make logical gates, once you have logical gates, you don't care about transistors anymore, and you work with logical gates, you then build operations with the logical gates, and stop worrying about the gates, you start talking about operations (sums, rests, multiplications) you then go on building more complex operations using the operations you have, when a programmer works with a computer, he usually works with the complex stuff others have built for him
This is just brilliant.. I almost cried on how superb it is demonstrated!! I need such a board for my kids now! This is way more simplistic than trying to explain logical elements with Minecraft Redstone Dust.
I've always known how computers work, but I still can't imagine how we create actual chips and computer systems that turn 1s and 0s into the games and programs we see today.
Wesley Lima - He has a series of videos building a basic computer from scratch. Really informative for anyone interested in programming or digital electronics. I wish they had this level of teaching when I was in school.
That because its not sth one person do. Maybe there are someone out there who study this thing alot. But originally, computer was simple and it getting more complex and complex by different smart people over the century. So unlese u are as smart as hundred of smart people combine, u cant do all of that alone. They create abstraction for complex stuff. So instead of coding from the core itself of 0 and 1. People create a program that are more user friendly to us. For example: operating system like Window10. Then within that program, people create a program to create another program for example: Unity, a software that ppl use to create game. Then inside the game, some developer allow user to create their own level. Its just abstraction within abstraction

@@rogg0224 THe computer doesn't do calculus the way humans do. They perform multiple simple calculations at ridiculous speeds to achieve results. Most normal humans would just pass that problem through a formula. So a computer is basically an elementary schooler with super speed.

"They can only do one thing at a time" -- Sorta, I mean, most modern processors have more than one core. There are also things like hyperthreading that bridge the gap between single and multiple simultaneous operations, and SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instructions that do multiple operations in parallel. Plus, expansion cards/peripheral devices are generally not constrained by the CPU - so your GPU, sound card, hard drive, and so forth are all doing operations simultaneously, too. Modern computers are complex. :)
Slight nit-pick on the "add" logic. You do get the correct result (8 + 5 = 13), but you mainly get it by coincidence - you simply increment the right register the same number of times as the left register's value. So what you got was 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13. Works okay for this example, but it's not technically a correct addition algorithm, and it would take much longer on larger numbers. One thing I think is cool about it, though, is that the left register did a correct countdown for the number of times to increment the right register. It starts at 5 and counts down to 0, then "underflows" to 7 and stops before the next increment. In computer assembly language, that kind of increment/decrement-and-check pattern forms the basis for all loops, so you could easily write this as a simple assembly routine. Still, good demonstration!
Так вот на что вы время тратите, Владимир Владимирович! Нет чтобы поработать на благо государства! That’s what you spend your time on, Vladimir Vladimirovich! As if you couldn’t do something useful for your state!
Nice job of explaining binary and basic binary bitwise logic and basic arithmetic! This would be an excellent starting video for new people interested in computation. Good job!
@PIg Man - Therein likes the "magic" of computers. It takes a human mind to create that "build" for them--in what is called a program (or in today's terminology--an app).
7:23 Actually this isn't true. Modern CPUs do something called hyperthreading where they can send multiple instructions to the ALU at once and it will perform those simultaneously on different gate arrays. For example, if the ALU has 2 adder circuits and 1 multiplier circuit, it can add two sets of numbers and multiply another set of numbers simultaneously (assuming it also has enough registers to hold the data).
i recently switched from my Ryzen 2700x, 64GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 2070 build to my older FX6300, 8GB DDR3 RAM, GT 705 (no joke...) and guess what? Since i am not gaming anymore i almost notice no differences...
Does anyone still remember how to cross NAND gates to make RS flip-flops, or JKs, or D-flops? We came along way since 1970 TTL. I've already lost all of my Marbles. Back to the Future.

This is quite literally how people are able to make those incredible videos where they make entire computers inside Minecraft. Redstone allows you to basically make extremely simple circuits, make enough of them and hook them together so they create meaningful logic, you can get almost anything

learn the binary system first (as this video did not really teach it properly), then the rest will be easy to understand
Why is the most interesting parts sped up :(
Seriously, at least give us a few marbles going through it
You can slow down the speed of the video to ¼ of its normal speed. But I agree.
right? lol
Hi
I also would love a real time speed of this video!
I’ve worked with computers for years and this is the best explanation I’ve seen, I’ll never look at them the same way.
Unbelievable explanation of working of modern computer and in same way computer program works.
Oh gosh, now he has a moustache - he is looking more and more like Tesla
Bro true
Bruh he has a moustache 😂.. not beard
I felt dizzy thinking of how my mind can't keep up with my cellphone processing speed. We have a monster in our hand.
Computers are really dumb monsters though. Elementary school kids can do all of the basic functions that a CPU can do, it takes smart people to figure out how to do something useful with the ability to do those basic operations billions of times a second.
@@danieljensen2626 oh, yeah, I could do calculus in elementary
@@danieljensen2626 tell that to my 5 Ghz intel core i9
Wait 20 years when you refer to it as "that antique piece of crap?" 🤣
@@rogg0224 THe computer doesn't do calculus the way humans do. They perform multiple simple calculations at ridiculous speeds to achieve results. Most normal humans would just pass that problem through a formula. So a computer is basically an elementary schooler with super speed.
Man really be teaching way easier, fun and understandable maths and computer better than school education
*Me:* So, y'see... computers don't do very much at all, but they do it very quickly
*My GF:* Then you have a lot in common!
*Me:* [awkward silence]
Damn 😕
😂
Got the inverse problem here 🤣
Why isn't there option to give more then 1 like? No, I am serious this video is very superbly explained that it deserves more likes and views then there are.
"Lets see how many balls we have"
Me: Uh Oh
Okay you explained to me what 2 years of school couldn't.
"They can only do one thing at a time" -- Sorta, I mean, most modern processors have more than one core. There are also things like hyperthreading that bridge the gap between single and multiple simultaneous operations, and SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) instructions that do multiple operations in parallel.
Plus, expansion cards/peripheral devices are generally not constrained by the CPU - so your GPU, sound card, hard drive, and so forth are all doing operations simultaneously, too.
Modern computers are complex. :)
I remember when this dude hardly had any subscribers... But it's videos like these that has earned him so many subscribers.
Slight nit-pick on the "add" logic. You do get the correct result (8 + 5 = 13), but you mainly get it by coincidence - you simply increment the right register the same number of times as the left register's value. So what you got was 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13. Works okay for this example, but it's not technically a correct addition algorithm, and it would take much longer on larger numbers.
One thing I think is cool about it, though, is that the left register did a correct countdown for the number of times to increment the right register. It starts at 5 and counts down to 0, then "underflows" to 7 and stops before the next increment. In computer assembly language, that kind of increment/decrement-and-check pattern forms the basis for all loops, so you could easily write this as a simple assembly routine.
Still, good demonstration!
Me: how much is the total
The shop keeper: hold on let me use my calculator
*The calculator
Me: waits for eternity
Now this one was my favorite video! Excuse me while I go make my own computer!
In Mother Russia, we used to use these computers
We know

I think its best video u have created. Now i know whats the use of computer organisation subject in computer study.
pretty mind blowing that someone came up with this!! thank you for explaining this in such an accessible way
6:04 with that ultra tech calc we can multiply 2*3 in only 10 seconds
Isn't Alan Turing the guy that helped decipher German radio messages or something during WW2?
Yeah and the machine he used to do that was Turing machine

@@pushkarsaoji7734 Enigma was first decyphered in Poland, in 1932, by humans.
Yeah Alan Turing
I can never take it seriously when someone says `balls’
Fantastic! After many years of trying and failing, I finally understand computers!
Nice job of explaining binary and basic binary bitwise logic and basic arithmetic! This would be an excellent starting video for new people interested in computation. Good job!
this is really cool but how do you know how to build it? like how do you know what combinations to put each little thingy?
That's Coding.
Or what software engineers do.
@@irfanjames125 not really
@PIg Man - Therein likes the "magic" of computers. It takes a human mind to create that "build" for them--in what is called a program (or in today's terminology--an app).
7:23 Actually this isn't true. Modern CPUs do something called hyperthreading where they can send multiple instructions to the ALU at once and it will perform those simultaneously on different gate arrays. For example, if the ALU has 2 adder circuits and 1 multiplier circuit, it can add two sets of numbers and multiply another set of numbers simultaneously (assuming it also has enough registers to hold the data).
The Action Lab: computers didn't change, the do same tasks.
The Kid with 3000$ PC: Hey you, listen.
i recently switched from my Ryzen 2700x, 64GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 2070 build to my older FX6300, 8GB DDR3 RAM, GT 705 (no joke...) and guess what? Since i am not gaming anymore i almost notice no differences...
Probably the coolest video I ever seen, Its basic coding.
This is one of my all-time favorite videos ever. Great job!
Does anyone still remember how to cross NAND gates to make RS flip-flops, or JKs, or D-flops? We came along way since 1970 TTL. I've already lost all of my Marbles. Back to the Future.
Just the people designing modern processors. At the die level, it's all still there just like it ever was... Just insane tiny and zillions of them.
Only others you're gonna find are die hard hobby level... Gonna be rare, but they're out there.
Oh my god shave that mustache. I haven't seen this guys videos in a while and this popped up. Oh my.
Stfu
that's why i am telling people not to start the computer definetion by saying "computer is a electronic device"😂
This is quite literally how people are able to make those incredible videos where they make entire computers inside Minecraft. Redstone allows you to basically make extremely simple circuits, make enough of them and hook them together so they create meaningful logic, you can get almost anything
Action lab should make an Amazon store and do affiliate marketing
Every parent and classroom should consult his demonstrations
I see his face and just imagine:"MAAMAAAAAAA"
Oooooo- oooo-oo-oooooooo
Where can I get one of these? I've never wanted anything more in my life
I also wanna know
That is a human readable processor, now find a non electricity way to make a gpu, then a monitor and a way to store the binary numbers (Ram)
It already demonstrates "RAM" just not much of it. Now reading and writing to it "externally"... Whole different thing lol
@@MadScientist267 Wow, my 1 year old comment..

@@MadScientist267 I was 11 or 12 back then.
@@costin88boss74 Not an issue from my end haha... Technically you were right, I was just poking a stick at it 👍
I learned how computers (and logic gates) work using redstone in Minecraft. This is, for me, the easiest example to follow.
Best video I’ve seen on this. Great Job!
wait... I'm so confused about how to place the green things on the math setups.
One question. Can it run doom?
That annoying Greek philosopher when I say I'm from future:
THANK YOU RANDALL (I know you are the Badger guy)
I learned more about how bits and registers work than I did in A+ Certification.
One of the best explanations on the subject!
