  • @sravanthkumarchintalacheru1359

    The book which awoke my inner curiosity is ‘Prapanchani Marchina Mahamedavulu’ which means ‘Those that changed the world’. It's a compilation of work done by great scientists, biologists, politicians, authors and actors.
    I read that book in my 8th grade and I'm now 21. It literally changed the person I'm - for better.
    This title of the video brought many memorable moments to my mind ❤️

    Thanks for this presentation on Alan Turing, a true genius of the 20th century. I find his efforts to defeat the "Enigma" code machine to be fascinating for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Turing himself was somewhat of an enigma. His persecution as a homosexual was appalling and a poor reward for his valuable code breaking work during WWII.

    tibees, thank you so much for going to all this effort to explain just how important Turing was. I'm gay myself, and did my PhD in physics. When I was younger (I am 35 now) I went and sat beside his memorial statue on the park bench near Manchester university (which is also where I did my PhD!) Growing up gay in suburban Australia, it was pretty difficult at times, but the situation is very different these days. Poor Alan, all he wanted to do was help save his country, but apparently punishing him for a consensual act is far more important than code breaking and developing computers.
