https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing
Alan Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science.
Enigma (2001) film is loosely based off of his life and his contributions to creating the first computer, and helping win the Second World War. It is a pretty good film; I recommend it.
Anyway, the Youtube channel is named after him. Here are some of the nerdy Math / Physics videos I've been watching. Most of it is beyond me, but it is still cool to hear about inspiring stories about breakthroughs in Science and Math.
