EL ACENTO - Disculpa cifrada

Los servicios prestados durante la II Guerra Mundial no han sido suficientes para que el Gobierno británico se disculpe por condenar la homosexualidad de Turing
Uno de los secretos mejor guardados del siglo XX acaba de ver la luz con ocasión del centenario del matemático británico Alan Turing, pionero de las ciencias de la computación y padre de la inteligencia artificial. Turing fue reclutado en la II Guerra Mundial por la escuela de Bletchey Park, el departamento del Gobierno británico dedicado a descifrar los mensajes secretos del Ejército alemán. Su genio matemático fue clave para que los aliados conocieran los planes de Hitler y, en parte, para que desbarataran las operaciones de los submarinos alemanes. El matemático escribió en esos años dos artículos científicos, donde detalló sus innovadores métodos de criptoanálisis, pero el Ejército británico no consideró conveniente su publicación, ni durante la guerra ni tras ella. Solo ahora, 70 años después, los dos papers ultrasecretos han sido desclasificados y expuestos al público. Los responsables de Bletchey Park se deshacen estos días en elogios al gran matemático, que habría cumplido ahora 100 años.
El final de aquella historia, sin embargo, fue uno de los episodios más paradójicos y escandalosos de la posguerra mundial, y uno de los más tristes de la historia de la ciencia.
En 1952, poco después de que el Gobierno le concediera la Orden del Imperio Británico y de ser elegido miembro de la Royal Society, Turing fue procesado por homosexualidad —todavía un delito en la época— y condenado a un año de “terapia hormonal”. El Gobierno le declaró un riesgo para la seguridad nacional y le retiró el acceso a toda la información sensible. En 1954, poco después de terminar su “terapia hormonal”, Turing fue hallado muerto en su habitación; envenenado con cianuro. La investigación lo consideró un suicidio.
Hasta 23.000 firmas se recogieron para exigir al Gobierno una disculpa oficial, lo que rechazó en febrero. El ministro de Justicia, lord McNally, explicó que pedir perdón no era adecuado porque el matemático había sido condenado propiamente por homosexualidad; delito en la época. Sí reconoció al menos que fue una historia trágica, cruel y absurda, “sobre todo si se tiene en cuenta su sobresaliente contribución al esfuerzo de guerra”. Debe ser una disculpa cifrada.

Publicado el 21/06/2012 Saturday 23 June 2012 marks the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing - mathematical genius, hero of the WWII code breakers of Bletchley Park, and father of modern computing.
Alan Turing was a mathematician, cryptographer and pioneer of computer science who possessed one of the greatest brains of the 20th century. His life was one of secret triumphs shadowed by public tragedy.

From cryptanalysis and the cracking of the German Enigma Code during the Second World War to his work on artificial intelligence, Alan Turing was without doubt one of the greatest minds of the 20th century. An extraordinarily gifted mathematician, he is rightly regarded as the father of computer science having set in place the formal rules that govern the way every computer code ever written actually work. This lecture will be a celebration of one man's enigmatic yet ultimately tragic life - a whirlwind tour of his genius, from whether computers can have consciousness to how a leopard gets its spots.

Presented by Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Professor of Physics and Professor of Public Engagement in Science from the University of Surrey.
Jim Al-Khalili OBE is an Iraqi-born British theoretical physicist, author and science communicator. He is Professor of Theoretical Physics and Chair in the Public Engagement in Science at the University of Surrey. He has become a familiar science personality in the British media. He has hosted several BBC productions about science and is a frequent commentator about science in other British media venues.
This was a joint lecture between the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh School of Informatics.
Recorded on Thursday 10 May 2012 at the George Square Lecture Theatre, The University of Edinburgh.

Computer's multimedia editor Charles Severance visits Bletchley Park to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Alan Turing's birth. Turing's ground-breaking work in the 1940s continues to have an impact on computer science as we know it. The Turing test, Turing machine, Turing completeness, and Church-Turing computability bear his name in acknowledgment of his early breakthroughs and influence. In the video, we see the German Enigma machine used to encrypt messages, and the BOMBE mechanical computing system that was designed by Alan Turing to crack the Enigma code. We also see the first electronic tube/valve-based computer called the Colossus that was built to break the more sophisticated Lorenz SZ42 encryption used for Hitler's strategic messages during World War II. We see and hear both the BOMBE and Colossus running as if they were in production doing code-breaking during the war.

Alan Turing - Wikipedia

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing
Alan Mathison Turing, OBE (23 de junio de 1912 en Maida Vale, Londres - 7 de junio de 1954 en Wilmslow, Cheshire) fue un matemático, científico de la computación, criptógrafo y filósofo inglés.
Es considerado uno de los padres de la Ciencia de la computación siendo el precursor de la informática moderna. Proporcionó una influyente formalización de los conceptos de algoritmo y computación: la máquina de Turing. Formuló su propia versión de la hoy ampliamente aceptada Tesis de Church-Turing, la cual postula que cualquier modelo computacional existente tiene las mismas capacidades algorítmicas, o un subconjunto, de las que tiene una máquina de Turing. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, trabajó en descifrar los códigos nazis, particularmente los de la máquina Enigma; durante un tiempo fue el director de la sección Naval Enigma del Bletchley Park. Tras la guerra diseñó uno de los primeros computadores electrónicos programables digitales en el Laboratorio Nacional de Física del Reino Unido y poco tiempo después construyó otra de las primeras máquinas en la Universidad de Mánchester. Entre otras muchas cosas, también contribuyó de forma particular e incluso provocativa al enigma de si las máquinas pueden pensar, es decir a la Inteligencia Artificial.
La carrera de Turing terminó súbitamente cuando fue procesado por ser homosexual. No se defendió de los cargos y se le dio a escoger entre la castración química o ir a la cárcel. Eligió lo primero y sufrió importantes consecuencias físicas, entre ellas la impotencia. Dos años después del juicio, en 1954, cometió suicidio tras ingerir cianuro

Su infancia

Turing fue concebido en Chatrapur (India británica). Su padre Julius Mathison Turing era miembro del Cuerpo de funcionarios británicos en la India. Julius y su esposa Ethel querían que su hijo Alan naciera en el Reino Unido y regresaron a Paddington, donde finalmente nació. Pero su padre aún debía cubrir su puesto de funcionario en la India, por lo que durante la infancia de Turing sus padres viajaban constantemente entre el Reino Unido y la India, viéndose obligados a dejar a sus dos hijos con amigos ingleses en vez de poner en peligro su salud llevándolos a la colonia británica. Turing dio muestras ya desde una edad muy temprana del ingenio que más tarde mostraría prominentemente. Se cuenta que aprendió a leer por sí solo en tres semanas y que desde el principio mostró un gran interés por los números y los rompecabezas.
Sus padres lo inscribieron en el colegio St. Michael cuando tenía seis años. Su profesora se percató enseguida de la genialidad de Turing, tal y como les ocurrió a sus posteriores profesores. En 1926, con catorce años, ingresó en el internado de Sherborne en Dorset. Su primer día de clase coincidió con una huelga general en Inglaterra, pero era tan grande la determinación de Turing por asistir a su primer día de clase que recorrió en solitario con su bicicleta las más de 60 millas que separaban Southampton de su escuela, pasando la noche en una posada — una hazaña que fue recogida en la prensa local.
Las esperanzas y las ambiciones de Turing en la escuela fueron plantadas por la estrecha amistad que desarrolló con un compañero un poco mayor, Christopher Morcom,³ que fue el primer amor de Turing. Morcom murió repentinamente el 13 de febrero de 1930,⁴ sólo unas pocas semanas en su última temporada en Sherborne, debido a complicaciones de la tuberculosis bovina, contraída después de beber la leche de vaca infectada. La fe religiosa de Turing se hizo pedazos y se hizo ateo. Adoptó la convicción de que todos los fenómenos, incluyendo el funcionamiento del cerebro humano, debe ser materialista,⁵ sin embargo, siguió creyendo en la supervivencia del espíritu después de la muerte.⁶
La inclinación natural de Turing hacia las matemáticas y la ciencia no le forjó el respeto de sus profesores de Sherborne, cuyo concepto de educación hacía más énfasis en los clásicos. Pero a pesar de ello, Turing continuó mostrando una singular habilidad para los estudios que realmente le gustaban, llegando a resolver problemas muy avanzados (para su edad) en 1927 sin ni siquiera haber estudiado cálculo elemental.
En 1928, con dieciséis años, Turing descubrió los trabajos de Albert Einstein y no sólo pudo comprenderlos sino que además infirió las críticas de Einstein a las Leyes de Newton de la lectura de un texto en el que no estaban explícitas. Durante su edad escolar Turing fue un joven cuyo optimismo y ambiciones se vieron acrecentados debido en gran parte a su intensa unión con su amigo Christopher Morcom, cuya muerte, aún joven, afectaría a Turing profundamente.

La Universidad y sus estudios sobre computabilidad

El King's College de Cambridge, donde estudió en 1931 y se convirtió en miembro en 1935. Su sala de computación lleva actualmente su nombre.

Debido a su falta de voluntad para esforzarse con la misma intensidad en el estudio de los clásicos que en el de la ciencia y las matemáticas, Turing suspendió sus exámenes finales varias veces y tuvo que ingresar en la escuela universitaria que eligió en segundo lugar, King's College, Universidad de Cambridge, en vez de en la que era su primera elección, Trinity. Recibió las enseñanzas de Godfrey Harold Hardy, un respetado matemático que ocupó la cátedra Sadleirian en Cambridge y que posteriormente fue responsable de un centro de estudios e investigaciones matemáticas de 1931 a 1934. En 1935 Turing fue nombrado profesor del King's College.
En su memorable estudio "Los números computables, con una aplicación al Entscheidungsproblem" (publicado en 1936), Turing reformuló los resultados obtenidos por Kurt Gödel en 1931 sobre los límites de la demostrabilidad y la computación, sustituyendo al lenguaje formal universal descrito por Gödel por lo que hoy se conoce como Máquina de Turing, unos dispositivos formales y simples. Demostró que dicha máquina era capaz de implementar cualquier problema matemático que pudiera representarse mediante un algoritmo. Las máquinas de Turing siguen siendo el objeto central de estudio en la teoría de la computación. Llegó a probar que no había ninguna solución para el problema de decisión, Entscheidungsproblem, demostrando primero que el problema de la parada para las máquinas de Turing es irresoluble: no es posible decidir algorítmicamente si una máquina de Turing dada llegará a pararse o no. Aunque su demostración se publicó después de la demostración equivalente de Alonzo Church respecto a su cálculo lambda, el estudio de Turing es mucho más accesible e intuitivo. También fue pionero con su concepto de "Máquina Universal (de Turing)", con la tesis de que dicha máquina podría realizar las mismas tareas que cualquier otro tipo de máquina. Su estudio también introduce el concepto de números definibles.

La mayor parte de 1937 y 1938 la pasó en la Universidad de Princeton, estudiando bajo la dirección de Alonzo Church. En 1938 obtuvo el Doctorado en Princeton; en su discurso introdujo el concepto de hipercomputación, en el que ampliaba las máquinas de Turing con las llamadas máquinas oracle, las cuales permitían el estudio de los problemas para los que no existe una solución algorítmica.

Alan Turing's Princeton Ph.D. thesis is probably one of the two most famous theses written at Princeton University (the other one being that by John Nash of "A Beautiful Mind" fame).
In honor of the centennial of the birth of Alan Turing, considered the father of computer science, Princeton University Press has published Turing's Princeton thesis along with an introduction that puts into context Turing's time at Princeton. Andrew Appel, who narrates this clip, is the chair of the computer science department at Princeton and served as editor for this special PUP imprint.
Appel was interviewed in the tea room of the old Fine Hall, which was home to Princeton's legendary mathematics department in the 1930s. Turing earned his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1938.

---------------------

Tras su regreso a Cambridge en 1939, asistió a las conferencias de Ludwig Wittgenstein sobre las bases de las matemáticas. Ambos discutieron y mantuvieron un vehemente desencuentro, ya que Turing defendía el formalismo matemático y Wittgenstein criticaba que las matemáticas estaban sobrevaloradas y no descubrían ninguna verdad absoluta.

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue uno de los principales artífices de los trabajos del Bletchley Park para descifrar los códigos secretos nazis. Sus perspicaces observaciones matemáticas contribuyeron a romper los códigos de la máquina Enigma y de los codificadores de teletipos FISH (máquinas de teletipos codificados que fabricaron conjuntamente Lorenz Electric y Siemens&Halske). Sus estudios del sistema Fish ayudarían al desarrollo posterior de la primera computadora programable electrónica digital llamada Colossus, la cual fue diseñada por Max Newman y su equipo, y construida en la Estación de Investigaciones Postales de Dollis Hill por un equipo dirigido por Thomas Flowers en 1943. Dicha computadora se utilizó para descifrar los códigos Fish (en concreto las transmisiones de la máquina Lorenz).

Para romper los códigos de la máquina Enigma y permitir a los aliados anticipar los ataques y movimientos militares Nazis, Turing diseñó la bombe, una máquina electromecánica —llamada así en reconocimiento de la diseñada por los polacos bomba kryptologiczna— que se utilizaba para eliminar una gran cantidad de claves enigma candidatas. Para cada combinación posible se implementaba eléctricamente una cadena de deducciones lógicas. Era posible detectar cuándo ocurría una contradicción y desechar la combinación. La bombe de Turing, con una mejora añadida que sugirió el matemático Gordon Welchman, era la herramienta principal que usaban los criptógrafos aliados para leer las transmisiones Enigma.
Los trabajos de ruptura de códigos de Turing han sido secretos hasta los años 1970; ni siquiera sus amigos más íntimos llegaron a tener constancia.

Estudios sobre las primeras computadoras y el Test de Turing

De 1945 a 1948 trabajó en el Laboratorio Nacional de Física en el diseño del ACE (Motor de Computación Automática [Automatic Computer Engine]). En 1949 fue nombrado director delegado del laboratorio de computación de la Universidad de Mánchester y trabajó en el software de una de las primeras computadoras reales — la Manchester Mark I. Durante esta etapa también realizó estudios más abstractos y en su artículo "Máquinas de computación e inteligencia" (octubre de 1950) Turing trató el problema de la inteligencia artificial y propuso un experimento que hoy se conoce como Test de Turing, con la intención de definir una prueba estándar por el que una máquina podría catalogarse como "sensible" o "sintiente".

En 1952 Turing escribió un programa de ajedrez. A falta de una computadora lo suficientemente potente como para ejecutarlo, él simulaba el funcionamiento de la computadora, tardando más de hora y media en efectuar un movimiento. Una de las partidas llegó a registrarse; el programa perdió frente a un amigo de Turing.

Trabajó junto a Norbert Wiener en el desarrollo de la cibernética. Esta rama de estudios se genera a partir de la demanda de sistemas de control que exige el progresivo desarrollo de las técnicas de producción a partir del siglo XX. La cibernética pretende establecer un sistema de comunicación entre el hombre y la máquina como premisa fundamental para administrar los sistemas de control. Sus estudios profundizaron en esta relación estableciendo el concepto de interfaz y cuestionando los límites de simulación del razonamiento humano.

El Test de Turing es una prueba que propuso Alan Turing buscando una manera de demostrar la existencia de inteligencia en una máquina.

Artículo principal: Test de Turing.

El Test de Turing (o Prueba de Turing) es una prueba propuesta por Alan Turing para demostrar la existencia de inteligencia en una máquina. Fue expuesto en 1950 en un artículo (Computing machinery and intelligence) para la revista Mind, y sigue siendo uno de los mejores métodos para los defensores de la Inteligencia Artificial. Se fundamenta en la hipótesis positivista de que, si una máquina se comporta en todos los aspectos como inteligente, entonces debe ser inteligente.

Procedimiento

La prueba consiste en un desafío. Se supone un juez situado en una habitación, una máquina y un ser humano en otras. El juez debe descubrir cuál es el ser humano y cuál es la máquina, estándoles a los dos permitido mentir al contestar por escrito las preguntas que el juez les hiciera. La tesis de Turing es que si ambos jugadores eran suficientemente hábiles, el juez no podría distinguir quién era el ser humano y quién la máquina. Todavía ninguna máquina puede pasar este examen en una experiencia con método científico.
En 1990 se inició un concurso, el Premio Loebner, una competición de carácter anual entre programas de ordenador que sigue el estándar establecido en la prueba de Turing. Un juez humano se enfrenta a dos pantallas de ordenador, una de ellas que se encuentra bajo el control de un ordenador, y la otra bajo el control de un humano. El juez plantea preguntas a las dos pantallas y recibe respuestas. El premio está dotado con 100.000 dólares estadounidenses para el programa que pase el test, y un premio de consolación para el mejor programa anual.
La primera y única vez que un juez confundió a una máquina con un humano fue en el año 2010, cuando el robot Suzette, de Bruce Wilcox, superó la prueba¹ .

Pruebas paralelas

Existe otra prueba parecida, propuesta por John Searle y popularizada por Roger Penrose: la "sala china", para argumentar que la máquina no ha superado la Prueba de Turing.² En esencia, es igual en la forma, pero se realiza con personas encerradas en una habitación y se requiere que estas no conozcan el idioma en que se realiza la conversación. Para ello se usa un diccionario que permite confeccionar una respuesta a una pregunta dada, sin entender los símbolos. Como consecuencia, se argumenta que por mucho que una persona sea capaz de enviar una cadena de símbolos en chino relacionada con otra cadena recibida, no quiere decir que sepa chino, sino que sabe aplicar un conjunto de reglas que le indican lo que ha de enviar. Falta la semántica en el proceso y por eso es muy cuestionada como inteligencia artificial, puesto que equipara una máquina pensante con una que parece que piensa. Ray Kurzweil predice que el ordenador pasará la prueba de Turing hacia el 2029, basado en el concepto de singularidad tecnológica.³

Aplicaciones

Una de las aplicaciones de la prueba de Turing es el control de spam. Dado el gran volumen de correos electrónicos enviados, el spam es, por lo general, enviado automáticamente por una máquina. Así la prueba de Turing puede usarse para distinguir si el correo electrónico era enviado por un remitente humano o por una máquina (por ejemplo por la prueba Captcha).

Estudios sobre la formación de patrones y la biología matemática

Turing trabajó desde 1952 hasta que falleció en 1954 en la biología matemática, concretamente en la morfogénesis. Publicó un trabajo sobre esta materia titulado "Fundamentos Químicos de la Morfogénesis" en 1952. Su principal interés era comprender la filotaxis de Fibonacci, es decir, la existencia de los números de Fibonacci en las estructuras vegetales. Utilizó ecuaciones de reacción-difusión que actualmente son cruciales en el campo de la formación de patrones. Sus trabajos posteriores no se publicaron hasta 1992 en el libro Obras Completas de A. M. Turing.

Procesamiento por su homosexualidad y muerte de Turing

La carrera profesional de Turing se vio truncada cuando lo procesaron por su homosexualidad. En 1952 Arnold Murray, el amante de Turing, ayudó a un cómplice a entrar en la casa de Turing para robarle. Turing acudió a la policía a denunciar el delito. Durante la investigación policial, Turing reconoció su homosexualidad, con lo que se le imputaron los cargos de "indecencia grave y perversión sexual" (los actos de homosexualidad eran ilegales en el Reino Unido en esa época), los mismos que a Oscar Wilde más de 50 años antes. Convencido de que no tenía de qué disculparse, no se defendió de los cargos y fue condenado. Según su ampliamente difundido proceso judicial, se le dio la opción de ir a prisión o de someterse a un tratamiento hormonal de reducción de la libido. Finalmente escogió las inyecciones de estrógenos, que duraron un año y le produjeron importantes alteraciones físicas, como la aparición de pechos o un apreciable aumento de peso, y que además le convirtieron en impotente.
En una carta de esta época a su amigo Norman Routledge, Turing escribió en forma de falso silogismo una reflexión, relacionando el rechazo social que provoca la homosexualidad con el desafío intelectual que supone demostrar la posibilidad de inteligencia en los ordenadores. En particular, le preocupaba que los ataques a su persona pudieran oscurecer sus razonamientos sobre la inteligencia artificial:⁷

Dos años después del juicio, en 1954, murió por envenenamiento con cianuro, aparentemente tras comerse una manzana envenenada que no llegó a ingerir completamente. La mayoría piensa que su muerte fue intencionada y se la consideró oficialmente como un suicidio. A pesar de que su madre intentó negar la causa de su muerte, atribuyéndola rotundamente a una ingestión accidental provocada por la falta de precauciones de Turing en el almacenamiento de sustancias químicas de laboratorio, su vida terminó amargamente y envuelta en una nube de misterio. Esta misteriosa muerte ha dado lugar a diversas hipótesis incluida la del asesinato.⁷ El 10 de septiembre de 2009 el primer ministro del Reino Unido, Gordon Brown, emitió un comunicado declarando sus disculpas en nombre del gobierno por el trato que recibió Alan Turing durante sus últimos años de vida. Este comunicado fue consecuencia de una movilización pública solicitando al Gobierno que pidiera disculpas oficialmente por la persecución sufrida por Alan Turing.⁸ ⁹ ¹⁰ Sin embargo, en 2012 el Parlamento británico volvió a negar el indulto al científico, aduciendo que la homosexualidad era considerada entonces un delito penal.¹¹

A biography of the English mathematician Alan Turing, who was one of the inventors of the digital computer and one of the key figures in the breaking of the Enigma code, used by the Germans to send secret orders to their U-boats in World War II. Turing was also a homosexual in Britain at a time when this was illegal, besides being a security risk.

Adapted for Television

Hugh Whitemore wrote a shortened version of the play for television. This was filmed in late 1995, as a production of THE DRAMA HOUSE and WGBH BOSTON for BBC NORTH.The first transmission, to my knowledge, was on 17 September 1996 in Canada, by Showcase Television. It was shown in the United States as a Masterpiece Theater production on 2 February 1997. The first British transmission was on BBC1, 5 February 1997.

Filmed for television in a naturalistic suburban setting, rather than on a timeless, expressionist stage set, Breaking the Code inevitably sacrificed many of the elements that made it grip theatre audiences. No stagecraft magic of Derek Jacobi's real-time changes of age: instead the teenage Turing was played by a young actor.

The adapted script also lost some of the more special moments of the play. For instance, on the stage, Turing reveals the logical secret of the Bombe on his last holiday on Corfu, but with the irony that it is revealed to someone who does not understand a word. On the television screen, his explanation is given to an Intelligence officer 'John Smith', all irony lost.

Hugh Whitemore also dropped the words at the death scene, and supplied an anticlimactic ending, a voiceover explaining the dubious honour done to Alan Turing by having part of the Manchester Ring Road being named after him. But this sudden shift into 1990s documentary mode holds the danger of dating very rapidly, and also prompts the awkward question of what Alan Turing is supposed 'really' to have done, which is even less clear in the television film than it was on the stage.

But the television version gained in ways I could not have foreseen. The direction made it less of a one-man show, and the supporting cast was very strong. The sheer bodily closeness, under the unflinching gaze of the camera, presented a wonderful image of 'the logical' confronting head-on 'the physical,' something I had wrestled with in my own writing.

A biography of the English mathematician Alan Turing, who was one of the inventors of the digital computer and one of the key figures in the breaking of the Enigma code, used by the Germans to send secret orders to their U-boats in World War II. Turing was also a homosexual in Britain at a time when this was illegal, and perceived to being a security risk.

Breaking the Code is a 1986 play by Hugh Whitemore about British mathematician Alan Turing, who was a key player in the breaking of the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park during World War II and founder of computer science. The play thematically links Turing's cryptographic activities with his attempts to grapple with his homosexuality.

Characters

Alan Turing

Mick Ross, detective

Christopher Morcom, Turing's childhood friend (1911-1930)

Sara Turing, Turing's mother (1881-1976)

Ron Miller, a young man having an affair with Turing (based on Arnold Murray)^[1]

Dilly Knox, manager at Bletchley Park recruiting Turing for government service

Pat Green, a co-worker of Turing's at Bletchley (based on Joan Clarke; 1917-1996)

Performance history and reception Following a run in the London West End beginning in November, 1986, the play ran on Broadway from November 15, 1987 to April 10, 1988, in both cases starring Derek Jacobi. The Broadway production also featured Jenny Agutter in the role of Pat Green.^[2] William A. Henry III, writing in Time Magazine, described the play as "elegant and poignant".^[3] The Broadway production was nominated for three Tony Awards including Best Actor in a Play, Best Featured Actor in a Play, and Best Direction of a Play, and for two Drama Desk awards, for Best Actor and Best Featured Actor. Following Jacobi's departure, the London production transferred to the Comedy Theatre with John Castle as Turing.^[4] The play was adapted for television in a 1996 BBC filmed production, directed by Herbert Wise, and also starring Jacobi, which won a Broadcasting Press Guild Award and was nominated for two BAFTA TV awards, for best single drama and best actor, and for a GLAAD Media Award. It was broadcast in the United States by PBS. The national première for Italy of the play was translated and directed by Luca Giberti at the Stabile Theatre in Genoa, featuring Jurij Ferrini.^[5]^[6] During the Turing Centenary 2012, there were two productions of the play in Germany, at the English Theatre Frankfurt and an amateur tour through Germany and the Netherlands by the University Players Hamburg.^[7]References

Turing en la Música

Turing ha servido de inspiración a multitud de músicos durante los siglos XX y XXI, interesados por sus investigaciones y vida personal. En 2012, conmemorándose su aniversario, se multiplican estos homenajes.

En 2006 Matmos publica un EP titulado For Alan Turing.

Matmos es un dúo de música electrónica experimental de San Francisco, que trabaja con el sello Matador. Está formado por M. C. (Martin) Schmidt y Drew Daniel, aunque usualmente colaboran también con otros artistas en sus discos o performances, como J Lesser por ejemplo. Muchos de sus trabajos podrían considerarse como una versión pop de la música concreta. El nombre Matmostiene que ver con el lago hirviente de endemoniada cal que se ubica bajo la ciudad Sogo en la película de 1968Barbarella.^{[cita requerida]} El nombre también podría tener origen en el sueco, que significaría literalmente "comida machacada"

ALAN TURING : HONORARY IRISHMAN MEETS MATMOS / FOVEA HEX : THREE DAYS ONLY!!!
Many people are aware that 2012 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing, “The Man Who Cracked The Enigma Code”, much of whose work remained secret until after his untimely death in 1952. Less well known is that his Mother was Irish, and his favorite song was Molly Malone, which, so the story goes, he insisted on rendering on the violin to the police who came to arrest him on charges of gross indecency, before agreeing to make his statement to them.
The recording by Matmos of Clodagh Simonds (Fovea Hex / Mellow Candle) singing Molly Malone, was first featured on their FOR ALAN TURING ep, part of a work commissioned in 2006 by The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkely CA on the opening of their new Mathematics Hall. It will be available as a free download for three days only, March 16, 17, and 18, from the Fovea Hex Bandcamp page foveahex.bandcamp.com . Matmos anticipate that the full FOR ALAN
TURING ep will be digitally re-released to coincide with Turing’s 100th anniversary in June 2012

Hello everybody,

I felt I should make a tribute to if not one of the fathers of Computer Science, and the ever famous "Halting Problem" using the Turing Machine. He is known for being the founder of the concept of the computer alongside others such as John Von Neumann but, noted as the father of it. Through his work on decidability and demonstrating the work of Kurt Godel in the form of logical machines. Not only was his mathematical and foundational computer science progress was important, he stood up strongly for his beliefs that all people should be able to live their life without hypocrisy of things such as anti-homosexuality, religions and lies. He showed and tried to show us that we are all finite and incomplete, we just need to embrace life for what it is. Also for his efforts in WW2 by decrypting the Enigma machine. Definitely one of my heroes. The british government recently apologized for their actions against Alan Turing due to his homosexuality:
"So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better."

Video contributed by BBC (no copyright infringement intended, this is a tribute to a great man), and clips of my own research in visual form on the topics of Goldbach's Conjecture.

Alan Turing Centenary Lectures

2012 marks the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing, an event being celebrated worldwide. Turing is regarded by many as the originator of modern computing. His work had a strong influence in several fields: mathematics, logic, cryptology and morphogenesis, but it is perhaps in the field of computer science that his legacy has been the most profound. The University of Edinburgh and the Royal Society of Edinburgh present a series of lectures celebrating his achievements and reflecting on the impact of his work on modern life.

TURING CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION at PRINCETON (May 10-12, 2012)

http://www.princeton.edu/turing/
Home - About - Schedule of Events - Lecture Videos & Speaker Bios - More on Alan Turing

A sincere thanks to our speakers, to all who attended, and to all who helped to make Princeton's Turing Centennial such a success. Links to videos of all of the Turing lectures are available on this site as well as on Youtube (search #turingprinceton).
Alan Turing, universally recognized as the "father of computer science," studied at Princeton in the late 1930s and earned a Ph.D. in 1938. The passing of the torch from the mathematicians Godel and Church to the computer scientist Turing opened the door for an understanding of what is possible with computation and the development of the computational infrastructure that surrounds us today. Turing also originated research in artificial intelligence and played a decisive role as a cryptanalyst during the second world war.
Turing was born in 1912. The Princeton Turing Centennial Celebration, held May 10-12, 2012, honored Turing's time at Princeton, the pivotal role that his thesis played in the evolution of computer science, and the broad reach of his work. Turing was as important as Einstein for 20th century science; it could be argued that Turing's impact on society today was greater than Einstein's. In the video below, Andrew Appel, chair of the computer science department and Eugene Higgins Professor of computer science, discusses Turing's time at Princeton and his legacy.

Avi Wigderson has been a Professor of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton since 1999. His research interests include Complexity Theory, Parallel Computation, Combinatorics and Graph Theory, Combinatorial Optimization Algorithms, Randomness and Cryptography, and Distributed and Neural Networks.
His honors include the Gödel Prize (2009), the Conant Prize (2008), the Gibbs Lecture, San Diego, California (2008), the ICM Plenary Lecture, Madrid, Spain (2006), The Yoram Ben-Porat Presidential Prize for Outstanding Researcher, and the Nevanlinna Prize (1994).

Martin Davis, Professor Emeritus of New York University, discusses how the work of Turing, Post, Church, Gödel, and Kleene during the 1930s fundamentally altered our notion of the nature of computation. He discusses this in terms of the theoretical underpinnings of the development of all-purpose computers and of modern computer science and speculates about the role of computation in the human mind and in biological evolution.

I am thinking about something much more important than bombs. I am thinking about computers.

John von Neumann, 1946

The most powerful technology of the last century was not the atomic bomb, but software—and both were invented by the same folks. Even as they were inventing it, the original geniuses imagined almost everything software has become since. At long last, George Dyson delivers the untold story of software's creation. It is an amazing tale brilliantly deciphered.

Kevin Kelly,

cofounder of WIRED magazine, author of What Technology Wants

Legendary historian George Dyson vividly re-creates the scenes of focused experimentation, incredible mathematical insight, and pure creative genius that gave us computers, digital television, modern genetics, models of stellar evolution—in other words, computer code.

In the 1940s and '50s, a group of eccentric geniuses—led by John von Neumann—gathered at the newly created Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Their joint project was the realization of the theoretical universal machine, an idea that had been put forth by mathematician Alan Turing. This group of brilliant engineers worked in isolation, almost entirely independent from industry and the traditional academic community. But because they relied exclusively on government funding, the government wanted its share of the results: the computer that they built also led directly to the hydrogen bomb. George Dyson has uncovered a wealth of new material about this project, and in bringing the story of these men and women and their ideas to life, he shows how the crucial advancements that dominated twentieth-century technology emerged from one computer in one laboratory, where the digital universe as we know it was born.

Join John Hollar for a captivating conversation with Dyson about John von Neumann and the beginnings of the digital universe.

This event is part of our 2012 Revolutionaries series, featuring conversations with some of the most distinguished minds in the computing field.
