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.

    Everything is too obvious...including the sadness in it...it doesn't look good.

    To borrow a sentence from Mu Xin: Stop mentioning Turing. His death makes us feel that everyone is sorry for him. Geniuses are always naive, open, and undefended to face this world occupied by mediocrities, and pay to the world with enthusiasm. When the world treats them, it is often a pot of dirty water poured down. Some people say: Human society is still progressing too slowly. Well, maybe. Human society has progressed, but human nature has never progressed.

The Imitation Game quotes

  • Detective Robert Nock: Mr Turing, can I tell you a secret?

    Alan Turing: I'm quite good with those.

    Detective Robert Nock: I'm here to help you.

    Alan Turing: Oh, clearly!

    Detective Robert Nock: Can machines think?

    Alan Turing: Oh, so you've read some of my published works?

    Detective Robert Nock: What makes you say that?

    Alan Turing: Oh, because I'm sitting in a police station, accused of entreating a young man to touch my penis, and you've just asked me if machines can think.

    Detective Robert Nock: Well, can they? Could machines ever think as human beings do?

    Alan Turing: Most people say not.

    Detective Robert Nock: You're not most people.

  • Alan Turing: Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
