There's also a documentary made a few years ago about Turing and 4 other brilliant people.
It's free on Google Video and called "Dangerous Knowledge". It's short but super interesting and thought-provoking.
Check it out if you're interested http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5122859998068380459 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5122859998068380459
- JonnieCache 15y agoShort? It's 90 minutes long! It is also superb, one of my favourite TV documentaries. It deals with Cantor, Boltzmann, Gödel and Turing, and revolves around how their work eventually destroyed them, hence the title. I love showing it to people: it was made for BBC4 and as such it is understandable by people with little knowledge of maths, but it's always capable of blowing their minds.
- ggwicz 15y agoHaha, I meant the Turing part is relatively short. But yeah it's really well put together.
