Well for one Turing was certainly somewhat interested in physics. From his WikiP page: In 1928, aged 16, Turing encountered Albert Einstein's work; not only did he grasp it, but it is possible that he managed to deduce Einstein's questioning of Newton's laws of motion from a text in which this was never made explicit. Then there was von Neumann and several others. If not interested then at least well educated in physics.
