"Von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us." - Edward Teller
If you visit the wikipedia article on von Neumann look at the part that lists his contributions. The list is ridiculously long and includes many fields, such as Economics, multiple fields of engineering, military science, physics, chemistry, biology and social science.
I have always been in total awe of John Von Neumann. John Von Neumann and Leonardo da Vinci were two humans whose mental abilities bordered on the Super-Human.
Implosion was not von Neuman's idea. Seth Neddermeyer first suggested it. It was shelved for a bit, then resurrected. Johnny was brought in later for doing theoretical modeling and computation required to design the compositions and shapes of the explosive lenses.
He was worried about the European Jews suffering what the Armenians suffered, but had no second thoughts on dropping nukes on civilians because of science.
His death is believed to almost certainly have been caused by the inhalation of several milligrams of U-235 while working on The Manhattan Project. X-Rays taken showed lines radiating outwards from a small central point in one of his lungs. Also, bone cancer has only two primary causes: 1. Syphilis and 2. Internal radiation. It is extremely unlikely he had syphilis.
I am a Hungarian living in Hungary. Von Neumann was the neighbor and mentor of my maternal grandmother's kid brother. He became a physicist and an electrical engineer and a university professor.
that guy was in a class of his own. I watched a documentary on him. He was sad when he could no longer do that things that he loved the most: Think. ( when he was closer to death and his brain was attacked. )
Wow, as a computer science major, I knew about his work in that field. But I did not know the full expanse of his knowledge and scientific contributions.
Its surprising that hollywood has never made a movie about him; although watching this that attributes so many different fields, where would you start or indeed end?
My father did his PhD with von Neumann as his thesis advisor in 1953. Von Neumann was brilliant but importantly, he never missed a chance to impress people around him, just for the heck of it ... One of his favorite humor books (which von Neumann took deadly seriously) was called, "The art of one-upmanship" about outdoing those around you ....
British scientists were involved in building the shaped charges to Neumann's design and my dad helped with the microswitches that timed their detonation to the necessary precision. Secrecy prevented open acknoweldgement but the specs were specific enough to be telling. Eniac developed separately from Bletchly Park's superior Collosus, developed by Tommy Flower under Max Newman (not to be confused)
I fully realize that this is about Von Neumann and not about computers, and that ENIAC was arguably more effective, but the Atanasof-Berry computer at Iowa State University was _first_...en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atanasoff%E2%80%93Berry_computer

I would love to see videos about CERN which is the major scientific organization in Switzerland... I first learned about CERN from reading one of Dan Brown's novels... and while Dan Browns books are fiction-ish.... CERN is a very real and mysterious scientific organization. 🎉🎉🎉
16:00 I downloaded that 1955 Fortune article "Can we survive technology?". But it does not seem to include the quote "The problems of the future of humanity...". Where did you get that quote? It's a very good quote, and I would like to read what he wrote before and after.

It's amazing how many scientists were absolutely convinced that if they developed and showcased a powerful enough weapon, their enemies would back enough and peace would be achieved.
@kiuk_kiks ask a random person on the street whether he knows von neumann, 0% he will know. Ask who is einstein, and everyone will blurt out the "smartest man". So would you still say that he is recognized?
@@bladekiller2766Well, that goes for every scientist who’s not named Newton or Einstein. The general public is simply very ignorant of brilliant scientists, but among those in scientific circles or computer science von Neumann is very well known.
its seems that a great deal of effort has been spent in composing this work. Your knowledge across multiple fronts and the sheer motivation you must have sourced to acquire it is truly interesting. Apart from journalism, what pushes you to learn and explain such vibrant concepts seamlessly?
I design verification protocols for quantum networks. They are the foundation for the so hyped quantum internet and have applications all over quantum computing.

@@Newsthinkthe fact that it exists Since it’s your video, if you think it’s dull without it you do you. I’ll just bow out gracefully and listen elsewhere Thanks for the response it’s nice to be acknowledged even if we disagree
A good documentry always has background music. I think it might be to do with the other side of the brain or keeping one's focus like in a Movie Movie, but not so important as Zimmer in a Nolan movie.
@@revenant2979 we’ll have to agree to disagree on what qualifies as “a good documentary” and whether or not they “always have” background music As for movies, yes, there is music but usually not start to finish so in most cases the majority of the dialogue and action do not have music and music is used to “pepper” the dialogue and augment the scene. I know movie music composers personally and they in most cases get to watch cuts and fit their music to fit the mood . Your version of a “good documentary” that always has background music appears ad hoc and almost haphazard. Not optimal for creating a mood. I also do not want my learning science brain to be engaged emotionally like “good movie music “ is designed to do. There is a science to that and a very long history of what composers did to for instance evoke a fear response for their audience. I know, no fear response here. However for those of us who prefer to enjoy music separately from learning dialogue it puts us in a stage of multitasking. Again, there’s a whole history of the allure of multitasking but most of the data concludes we are incapable of doing it fully. Arguably on the average a female brain can switch faster than the median male brain but the switching does not mean that anyone is doing true multitasking. Fear not, I realize you, a lot of others, and even the creator has a preference to having it which means I won’t be listening here. I made a request, and for reasons that suit others it was declined. I will put on my grown up boy pants and go elsewhere. I do not like being told what a “good documentary” has by someone who does not know what my preferences are and what my learning style is Enjoy yourself kind revenant2979 perhaps you might wanna consider a little more reverence for those who are not like you Anon
I remember in my late teens when I was (in the UK) a member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), I knew that Bertrand Russell was one of the founders of CND. I was already interested in philosophy so when I saw a collection of essays in a second hand shop by Russell, called The Unpopular Essays, I bought it. In an essay called ‘The Future of Mankind’ he advocated for the United States to use nuclear weapons to overwhelm the USSR before they could develop their own nuclear weapons (which would lead to nuclear proliferation and increase the chance of a much more destructive nuclear war in the future). Once the Russians actually did develop the bomb, of course, this cold logic no longer applied and he changed his position entirely. I only say this to show that von Neumann was responding to the situation at the time in a way that many highly ethical thinkers were. Russell fleshed out his political ideas further in the essay by adding that the US, after defeating the USSR, should develop a world government, backed by the US’s preeminent military, to ban the proliferation and further development of nuclear weapons. The stakes were very high. Now, of course, they are much higher.
Did he really accurately foresee so many geopolitical developments of his era? Amazing. Maybe his collected writings should be studied more. In particular, it would be interesting to know his thinking in choosing Nagasaki.
Hi first good program, I don't have that kind of money to brush up on my math, I have to find old math book and do the problem to reach the level of Mr. Neumann; I do have a MS. I need all the help I can get my hand on. Thank you
@@solivagant1170 The reality is, in past decades, IQ’s have been quoted for various individuals who NEVER took an IQ test. These numbers are best guesses based on vague indicators. Newton, Ben Franklin, Einstein, Tesla are given numbers that are ridiculous. A “high IQ” really means that person scored well on the types of thinking the test preparer was evaluating. Einstein was an entirely different type of thinker, as were Feynman, DaVinci, etc. Newton, Liebniz, etc. Many perform well, like Marilyn vos Savant, but do nothing with their “supposed intelligence.” Differential Aptitude tests prepared by those with highly developed aptitudes in specific areas are better evaluations of a mind’s powers.
Good documentary learned a lot, great quality, and excellent presentation of the information - just a note small detail- you didn’t pronounce Catholicism correctly when you explained the religion Von Naumann converted to at the end of his life.
Von Neumann reminds me of Churchill eerie premonition. "I fear a new dark age made more terrible and bourn to us on the gleaming wings of perverted science." All of us are good and evil. VN was, by the extremity of his genius, both astonishingly good and profoundly evil.
Paul Halmos once remarked that if Von Neumann had done nothing more than prove the Ergodic Theorem, that would have been enough to earn him immortality in the pantheon of mathematics.
One time a teacher wrote an unsolve problem on blackboard and after five minutes johnny raise his hand and gave answers with detail correctly thats shows his computational speeds and that teacher himself was one of the greatest mathmaticians of his time
