      lebarosky ______ Over 10,000 people worked at Bletchley Park (including my aunt).They all had to sign the official secret act. That is operative until you die so a lot of information about who worked there and what they did simply didn't surface for decades after the war. There were many brilliant minds at work there. If you don't think Turing is well recognised ask any computer person or mathematician about the 'Turing Machine'.

      Of course we would have had computers without him. He didn't even invent the computer. People in the early 1970s, for example, were able to convert primitive calculators into very simple computers. No one person invented computing. His machine during the war wasn't even known to the world until long after others had made computers.
      It's like suggesting that without the Wright Brothers we'd still not have planes. It's just not the way the world works.
      Other people are very capable too ya know.
      Ironically, it was a German Konrad Zuse (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Zuse) that invented the modern computer.

      Philip, you are so wrong it hurts.
      No law is just simply by virtue of it being the law. Slavery was legal for most of British and Human History - but it is still undeniably a moral outrage. Hitler was the supreme dictator of a sovereign state. Whatever he decreed was law. It was still some of the most barbaric and immoral practices ever carried out by a head of state. The same standard applies to these outrageous anti-homosexual laws which existed in the 60s.
      I suspect your motives are very different than how you present them and that you actually agree with these laws which killed one of the greatest British minds of the 20th century.

    The royal pardon is just a royal non-apology apology. There is nothing to forgive if there was no crime.

      "I never once heard the name Alan Turing in school,"
      I have seen a lot of comments like this, but I find it strange. Even The Imitation Game actors have made similar statements in various interviews. But the question is, why would have you heard about Alan Turing? Most people don't know about mathematicians and scientists.
      Have you ever heard about John von Neumann? Probably not (if you never heard about Alan Turing). The same logic applies here. The reason you have never about John von Neumann is the same reason why you never heard about Alan Turing. The general public do not know scientists and mathematicians.

    • @Melosyna
      @Melosyna 10 лет назад +6

      Evi Tthought
      I didn’t say that I had never heard of him, just not in school. And I am familiar with John von Neumann, at least with his contribution to quantum physics.
      But you are definitely right about scientists (and science) being underrepresented. Much to my embarrassment I can name more women who are solely famous for their butts…er… looks than e.g. important contemporary female scientists. Shallow and idiotic information gets shoved into our brains, and there is so little appreciation for people, who contribute to different aspects of humanity's progress every day.
      But I also believe that being a gay (or a female) scientist does not lift the chances of getting appropriate recognition. And Turing’s work was not only important from a scientific perspective. Decoding the enigma massively influenced the war, so it is an important historical fact. Furthermore, his personal story needs to be public knowledge, so maybe more people might realize the destructive, dehumanizing effects of homophobia. Why can’t we just all get along, FFS? *snarls*

    • @Melosyna
      @Melosyna 9 лет назад +18

      SnorkFlirt My country started the war, but we didn't invent facism, antisemitism and homophobia. Germans can't be held responsible any longer what generations before them have done, but we should also never forget it. Nazi Germany is an example that normal people are able to do and support the most horrible things, if they are convinced it is the right thing to do, and that governments are not infallible. You should never follow a savior figure, a government or a believe system blindly. But that is easier to be said than to be done. In modern, western civilization we tend to be say that we would NEVER fall for fascist ideas. And mostly, people are right by saying so. But this is only due to the fact that we cannot possibly imagine the desperate situation that drives people into fascism. German people don’t have an “evil gene”, nor do terrorists. We all have this potential in us! I’m not defending horrible acts; everybody is still and should be held responsible for his/her own decisions. But we have to focus on fighting the systems that cause desperation (inequality, poverty, lack of education and possibilities…), instead of just the people who have fallen into it.

      Evi Tthought well, maybe the fact that the British governement concealed Turing'sreal role in WW 2 for about 50 years contributed to the fact that she/he had not heard of him in school, don't you think? In fact, I own an encyclopaedia from 1976 in which he is mentioned as "a communication specialist who worked for foreign affairs", nothing about him being a war hero his Turing machine, howeve, is rather elaborately described in it)

    The real hero is Tommy Flowers who actually built the first programmable electronic computer Colossus which was cracking the Lorenz Cipher codes which was far more complex and harder to break than the enigma codes. The people at Bletchley Park were sceptical that Flowers machine would work so he was given no support so Flowers did it in his own time with his own savings and remarkably it worked like a treat. Quite a few Colossus computers ended up being made and they were soon put to cracking the codes of the Soviet Union and its Communist allied and was still being used by the intelligence services until the early 1970's. Sadly because Flowers had signed the Official Secrets Act, his achievements were unknown for decades, even his own family were unaware off what he had done. Flowers was given a medal and a reward for his work but the cash given didn't even cover the money he had spent himself building Colossus let alone all the money he could have made from the computer industry that grew after WW2 often with technology he had first made but because of the Secrets Act had not patented and so he missed out on millions. Turing is rightly remembered but its a shame that Flowers is largely forgotten.

      For the third time - They were essentially two different codes, the first one that the polish broke didnt regularly change cypher, after that the germans improved it with a cypher which changes every single day which was broken by Turing and co. Without the work of the Polish to go on Turing would never have achieved what he did and without Turing what the Polish achieved would have been worthless after the second version of Enigma. This might be the most pointless rivalry of all time since theres no evidence of hostilities between the two parties at the time, the narrative just got taken over by nationalists of both sides who insist their side solved it single handedly and the other side were inconsequential.

The initial design of the British bombe was produced in 1939 at the UK Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park by Alan Turing"

    British in fact did not solve the enigma. It was handed over to them by the Poles. In fact, the "Enigma code was first broken by the Poles, under the leadership of mathematician Marian Rejewski, in the early 1930s. In 1939, with the growing likelihood of a German invasion, the Poles turned their information over to the British, who set up a secret code-breaking group known as Ultra, under mathematician Alan M". British themselves admitted in early 2000 that it would be impossible for British to solve enigma without Polish contribution ( they didn't go as far as telling that Poles did it, but we know otherwise). Movies are one thing; historical facts are the other. Since Poles were trapped behind the Iron Curtain, the British took all the credit for the enigma. The story of Marian Rejewski and his group of mathematicians is really fascinating, much more than a Bletchley Park story, in my opinion, because it shows the incredible dedication of a few men to solve the puzzle that lasted many years. If the movie was done to show real historical facts, I think everyone would be sitting at the edge of their chairs. I think you might be inspired reading the story of Marian Rejewski, if you have time....

      The German Navy had a more sophisticated 4 wheel Enigma machine for command and control of the submarine fleet which was wreaking havoc on US and British shipping all along the US east coast. Joe Desch, an engineer with NCR Corp. in Dayton, Ohio was chosen by the Navy to break the code be developing a device called the NCR Bombe. It worked, the Navy was able to decrypt the German Naval messages, locate the U Boats and dispatch them thereby clearing the shipping lanes to England. This allowed the necessary materials to get to England and for D Day to happen. It is estimated that the war in Europe was shortened by 6 months to 1 year as a result of this achievement. Google "The Secret in Building 26" for the whole story.
