Alan Turing - "God is Dead" - Tribute to the Great Enigma

[Aspertech]

the fetters of faith...

[Aspertech]

The man who knew too much.

I find the two pieces of background music playing together very jarring.

[Sunnyvale877]

So sad, a powerful mind gone forever. Now we fight for every advance, with follower's of his logic laws. Shame! It's a killer!! RIP. Alan Turing....

God is dead? How can something that never existed be dead?

[Entertainmentwf]

@MegaGayjesus It's a metaphor.

[MegaGayjesus]

@Entertainmentwf I know dear, calm down!

[alabenle1]

@MegaGayjesus How do you know God don't exist? It requieres much faith to believe on some scientific theories like the big bang, for example. An infinite universe from an infinitesimal point in void space? come on! thats religion, too.

[alabenle1]

"... Religion is a boundary condition.." Galileo, Newton, Einstein an other great scientist who believed in the existance of God may desagree with that statement...

Nevertheless Turing was a great matematician.

[Entertainmentwf]

@alabenle1 Well sadly none of them were of Turing's capabilities to understand the statements at hand. They were great of course, but no greater than Turing when it came to the field at hand. Turing's work can be applied to things like Gods too. It's dead easy to show that a proof of God will NEVER exist since it's an undecidable statement. You can construct it with the diagonal method by constructing a statement where one can never match terms, and show them not to be complete.

Turing injected an apple with cyanide and then ate it. Is that why Apple Mac has an icon of a bitten apple?

[ElSachinoo]

Alan Turing, you wonderful man, I salute you.

[malcolmbryant]

This is very good indeed. A wonderfully concise and poetic precis.

[borebox]

I have tears in my eyes as I write this. I am a 56 year old gay man and responding after seeing this for the first time. Wondering if this is available at Barnes and Noble?

[bellinivernon]

Exelente !

The first minute or two has a great interplay between the music and the footage. But when the song vocals start it all goes downhill. Very distracting. I would also fade out your overlay track when music from the documentary can't be cut out.

Otherwise, I think you had the right idea.

[Entertainmentwf]

Thank you for the critique :). I hoped you enjoyed my tribute to one of the greatest minds in the 20th century :).

[Grak70]

Glad I could help. Turing is one of my heroes as well.

[torasbjoern]

Very well made! :)
