The unnamed Turing

I always thought that the victory of the war was attributed to Churchill, Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, Lao Mei, the leaders of these powerful countries, and the generals who fought on the battlefield. I never imagined how important scientists have played in this era. After all, I felt that science was too subtle in that era, and it was a shame. It turned out that science was the most important thing in that era.
Weapons of war, communications, transportation, etc. are all very important. Among them, communication is the most important. After all, no matter how powerful the weapon is, there is a way to crack it, but the deployment of the battlefield and the instructions conveyed are related to the victory or defeat of the entire war!
And Turing is the one who cracks the code! Historians commented that "Turing's successful deciphering of the code brought the end of World War II two years earlier, and at least 10 million people were saved."
Turing is not only about code breaking, but also being a homosexual, which was absolutely not allowed in society at the time, only imprisonment, or injection of estrogen to change sex. I didn't expect the society to be so against homosexuals at that time. The turing turing...
and the turing deciphering work was hidden for 50 years before it was released to the world, and even the Queen of England was pardoned by the royal family in recent years. What a tragedy, a great person who has made so many contributions, but Unknown, but also discriminated against and criticized by the state for their same-sex identity.

He saved the world, but the world abandoned him.

To those great workers who are obscure.

The Imitation Game quotes

  • Alan Turing: [voiceover] There were 159 million, million, million possible Enigma settings. All we had to do was try each one. But if we had ten men checking one setting a minute for 24 hours every day and seven days every week, how many days do you think it would take to check each of the settings? Well it's not days, it's years. It's 20 *million* years. To stop a coming attack, we would have to check 20 million years' worth of settings in 20 minutes.

  • Alan Turing: Sometimes we can't do what feels good. We have to do what is logical
