Bletchley Park
Alan TuringTuring’s research was novel in its notion of a 'Universal Machine' (now known as a Universal Turing machine), with the idea that such a machine could perform the tasks of any other machine, or in other words, is provably capable of computing anything that is computable.
You needed exceptional talent, you needed genius at Bletchley and
Turing's was that genius
1952
Gordon BrownThousands of people have come together to demand justice for Alan Turing and recognition of the appalling way he was treated. While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him ... 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
...a quite brilliant mathematician... whose unique contribution helped to turn the tide of war... horrifying
that he was treated so inhumanely...
No to racism, sexism... and homophobia
