Alan Turin, the founder of the computer who committed suicide at the age of 41 after being sentenced for homosexuality.
Alan Turin was born June 23, 1912..
Mr Turin is famous for his design of machines to sell coded messages during World War II. Prof. Jack Copland estimated that the work shorter than two years saved more than 14 million lives
In honor of this scientist, a new British 50-pound currency note including Turin has entered the circulation today..
8 Things You Didn't Know About Alan Turin
Alan Turin, an English mathematician, a logicist and mystic scientist, was responsible for breaking the Nazi Enigma code during World War II. His work gave allies the boundaries they need to win the war in Europe and also led to the creation of the computer.
Turin committed suicide in 1954, two years after being sentenced as gay. Homosexual service in Great Britain was a crime and Turin was convicted of “discipline” charges. He died eating an apple with cyanide. He was 41 years old.
The public did not know what he contributed to the war attempt when he died. Sixty years later Queen Elizabeth officially forgives Turin.
Andrehodges, a mathematician at the Oxford University of Mathematics Institute, wrote the verse “Alan Turin the Enigma”. Hodges talked about something most people don't know about Turin..
- He is an olympic level runner
He took part in a few games like sailing but he loved the ride. Turing had a “slid smell trainers” feature for his personality,” Hodges said. He probably ran to places he should go to to work for his day. He drove 10 miles between the two most worked places, the National Physical Laboratory and the Electronic Building in Dolis Hill, attacked colleagues who took public transport to the office.
He joined racing clubs and became a competitive amateur and won several games. His best marathon time in 1948 was 2 hours, 46 minutes and 3 seconds - 11 minutes slower than that year's Olympic winning time.
When a member of his running club asked why he trained so hard, he replied, “The only way I can get it out of my mind because I have such a stressful job is to drive hard. " - He sculpted the ethics of the hippie business
“He was a hippie before his time,” Hodges said. “He was so casual those days. If he lived decades later, he would have worn t-shirts and jeans every day.
It's not normal to wear turin without a tie belt. His young face was probably misunderstood as a graduate candidate even in the 30s.
He also shared the left-wingers of many of his Kings College soldiers, including economist John Maynard Caines and Arthur Cool Pigo. Turin joined the anti-war movement in 1933 but he was never deeply involved in politics. But he was terrified to see Hitler come into power in the late 1930s, which raised his interest in mystic science, which would then help war on Great Britain. - He disappointed teachers with bad scores
Hodges said science was considered a second-class pursuit of English government schools in the 1920s. Turin's obsession with science left his mother uncomfortable in expecting to study the classic, the most acceptable pursuit for gentlemen.
But he scores were bad in middle grades in school and then received many complaints from his teachers. His English teacher wrote this.
“His writing is the worst thing I’ve ever seen I can forgive. I'm trying to patiently watch his negligence and dirty, worky, incompetence. But I can't forgive the stupidity of his attitude towards the intelligent discussion of the New Covenant. "
