Turing was one of the main reasons for me pursuing computer science, his work in computing and mathematics is arguably even more impressive than enigma. Imagine what the world would be like if we hadn’t treated him so barbarically, decades of progress lost all because of nasty repulsive beliefs. I’ve heard this story so many times and it never fails to make me upset and angry :(
There aren't many things which make me feel ashamed to be British, but as a computer scientist, the way we treated Alan Turing is definitely one of those things
I'm not super confident, but I believe polish research on earlier version of enigma was done first, even before Nazi invasion. Then they gave it all to British because they couldn't continue under occupation. Enigma was upgraded but mostly the same, so they had a big head start with that information.

My father is a software engineer, and he raised me & my brothers with unwavering admiration for Alan Turing. We weren’t a religious household, but if we were, it was a religion of science and technology, and Sir Turing was a saint.
I actually had maths lessons in the house next door to Turing’s home. My old college had a statue of him in the park behind it. I honestly believe I think he’s one of the greatest men who ever lived and I’m glad he’s getting a bank note
Thanks for mentioning the role Polish cryptologists played in cracking the Enigma. Basically, the Polish Cipher Bureau was the behemoth of cryptology since 1919 and if it wasn't for the Poles deciding in 1939 to share their documentation of breaking the first Enigma with their allies, UK and France, the UK would have needed many more years to even begin to crack it. Alan Turing and his team (to a large extend female mathematicians!) greatly improved on the work of Marian Rejewski and his team, and his Bombe design was a huge upgrade from the much smaller Polish Bomba. Therefore, claiming that is was "one man" is really doing him - and everybody at Bletchley Park and in the Cipher Bureau a disservice.
Holy shit I am actually livid about the fact that we stopped this brilliant man's progress on what was going to pave the way for all of modern technology, simply because he was gay And that just makes me think where we would be if we hadn't suppressed things like women's rights for thousands of years, if we'd instead have actually given people equal chances at using their brilliance to advance technology Perhaps many of the problems that haunt us today would never even have come to exist
LOL no one suppressed women, they were just not interested in pulling their weight. In America white women threw a hissy fit when black men were granted voting rights, only after serving.
Good video, although it does repeat some urban legends as fact. For instance the repeated phrase used to crack codes was not "heil hitler", it was "weather report".
Bruh I can't believe I'm watching a two year old video of yours and it's got less than 100k views, you deserve so much more than only 60k subs bruh I've been binging your stuff all day
1:11 "Kryptologiczna" is an adjective, means "cryptologic" BTW. You don't use adjectives as nouns in polish, my guess is this is part of name of Rejewski's Kryptologic Bomb.
The Polish aren't event the first chapter of the story. It was the French who, after WW1, decided to keep a closer eye on Germans, and used "social engineering" to get one of those Enigmas. They approached a German officer unhappy with his country's direction and so he decided to betray Germany. Thank you, anonymous German officer !
theres a minor misconception her. turing never claimed credit of the breaking the code he just made a more efficent way to do it. It was us who decided to ignore the polish contribution
I've read about this man a long time ago, it's such a shame that he was treated the way he did for his contribution during the war, i mean not only the war, but his contribution to the world.
Not forgetting the group of teenage girls at Western Approaches Tactical Unit in Liverpool that devised battle scenarios for submarine commanders in real time using the information from Bletchley Park to defeat the German U-Boats. This was perhaps the most significant contribution to victory of World War II.
I’m bi. Turing is definitely one of my hero’s. I don’t believe in an afterlife, but on the off chance I’m wrong, I look forward to meeting him one day.
A fine video, you could explain just how his contributions defines modern computer technology and how any Turing-complete machine can do anything given enough time, but a fine video nonetheless.
He was very clever and was treated badly. But he was part of a team of very clever people. Like Tommy Flowers who cracked Ultra with the first semi progamable electrical computer. The misinformation in the film that Turing did everthing at Bletchly Park, is a discredit to everbody who worked there.
im suprised the turing machine was never mentioned, that is his biggest accomplishment, if it was just cracking a code it wouldnt have been anywhere near as impactful as it is today
The same letter not being able to come out the machine made some sense to me at 1st, as I thought if you could get the same letter out then it's possible for your message to come out not encrypted at all. But then I realized that the odds of even a single word coming out the same were astronomical, let alone the entire message. And even if it somehow did come out not encrypted you could just run it through the machine a second time to scramble it once more.
Okay. What I am kind of missing at the end of the video is some kind of statement that this pardoning of Alan Turing doesn't make amends for what was done to him. Especially if I think about how some LGTQIA+ people are still treated in the UK (and for that matter many other countries), this all is very bitter. We will have such an Oopsie moment of "we should have treated this minority group different" ever and ever again, if we do not acknowledge that- even though progress has been made for some- those things are still happening.
I always hate this. I'm gay myself and tell people we still have work to do, and people always say "but you have rights now". Okay, great, so why am I still having beer bottles thrown at my head when I leave a gay bar or why am I scared to hold my partners hand down the road in case I get stabbed, like one my my friends did. Just because we have rights doesn't mean we have adequate protection or respect.
Imagine what Alan Turing could have accomplished had he just lived to 50. I always get extremely upset when I remember how he was treated merely for being a homosexual, eternal shame on the british crown for robbing the world of a guardian angel and marvel.
Of all the times i have heard this story i never knew he had to admit his lifestyle due to a home invasion aswell. Poor guy was just trying to be himself, and if nobody knew they wouldn't have cared which is the sad part. Think to yourself if they had forced that on him when he was working on the bombe? The war wouldn't have been shortened by him 3-4 years... at least not in the way or by who we know it today.
5:14 Why would they do that? Did they eventually stop saying that phrase? (Edit): Wait, they could always just find a configuration that said another German word.
It’s just any German world preferably a German word that Includes all letters of the alphabet a few thousand times in different configurations so that the machine can translate different possibilities multiple times at once
One of the phrases that they would use most often as a key was “Weather Report,” because there would always be a weather report issued sometime in the morning.
We never gave the Americans any idea we had cracked the code. It was felt that it might get known to the German's. Even though we knew everything they were doing unless it was absolutely necessary no intervention took place, otherwise the German's would have known. To prove a point, one U.S. major who was not allowed to fly because he knew of the D-Day preparations ignored orders and flew over Germany and was shot down.

This video didn't give the whole story. The original enigma machine had 3 wheels. When the machine and codebook got captured, the Germans quickly made a new enigma machine with 5 wheels to to try and throw them off. It didn't really matter though because the algorithm had been cracked and the English were able to use the computer to do what would take forever down into minutes to decipher. Also the English created a story about a German officer that had become a traitor and started giving secrets to the English as to not alert the Germans that they had already cracked their new 5 wheel enigma machine. It worked pretty well too and is why the Germans kept using it while also going on a wild goose chase for one of their "own."
