ALAN TURING


       Turing 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 and artificial intelligence.

          he was a British scientist and a pioneer in computer science. During World War II, he developed a machine that helped break the German Enigma code. He also laid the groundwork for modern computing and theorised about artificial intelligence.


            Born on June 23, 1912, Turing was part of an upper-middle-class British family involved in colonial India. Science was a passion for young Turing, who often took part in primitive chemistry experiments. Before applying to schools, Turing was already theorizing on relativity and quantum mechanics.

Turing machine

           A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation that defines an abstract machine which manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules. Despite the model's simplicity, given any computer algorithm, a Turing machine can be constructed that is capable of simulating that algorithm's logic.

Enigma

enigma 
           Turing made it his goal to crack the complex Enigma code used in German naval communications, which were generally regarded as unbreakable. Turing cracked the system and regular decryption of German messages began in mid-1941. To maintain progress on code-breaking, Turing introduced the use of electronic technology to gain higher speeds of mechanical working. Turing became an invaluable asset to the Allies, successfully decoding many German messages.

turing test
            In artificial intelligence (AI), the Turing Test is a method for determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking like a human. The test is named after Alan Turing, an English mathematician who pioneered artificial intelligence during the 1940s and 1950s, and who is credited with devising the original version of the test. According to this kind of test, a computer is deemed to have artificial intelligence if it can mimic human responses under specific conditions. In Turing's test, if the human being conducting the test is unable to consistently determine whether an answer has been given by a computer or by another human being, then the computer is considered to have "passed" the test.



alan turing quotes 

         “I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.”

         “Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.”

WHAT HAPPENED DURING FIRST SECOND OF BIG BANG??

FIRST SECOND OF BIG BANG           At 1 x 10 -43  seconds,            the universe was incredibly small, dense and hot. This homogeneous area of the universe spanned a region of only  3.9 x 10 -34  inches. During this phase, big bang theorists believe, matter and energy were inseparable.The four primary forces of the universe were also a united force.at that time  The temperature of this universe was 1 x 10 32  degrees Kelvin.the quark particles was made during this phase.   At 1 x 10 -35  seconds,           as universe expanded,its cooled and energy and matter decoupled. the universe filled with a nearly equal amount of matter and anti-matter. There was more matter than anti-matter, so while most particles and anti-particles annihilated each other, some particles survived. These particles would later combine to form all the matter in the universe.so you can imagine the amount of matter + anti-matter was produce while big bang. At 1 x 10 -11  seconds,           during

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD OF EARTH INTRODUCTION                      The motions of the liquid iron and nickel outer core of the earth are thought to create the earth’s magnetic field. This magnetic field resembles a dipole as if a giant bar magnet was embedded inside. However, the axis of the dipole is not aligned with the rotational axis of the earth. Neither is it centered in the earth. EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELDS PROTECT US FROM SOLAR WIND AND SPACE RADIATION.            The Sun is a burning ball of gas that reaches such extreme temperatures that gas flies out from it at very high speeds. In fact, many of the electrons in the Sun’s atoms have enough energy to actually leave the atoms. The abandoned charged atoms are called ions. These ions and electrons flow outward from the Sun, and together they are known as the solar wind.           When the solar wind travels with the interplanetary magnetic field, the charged particles and magnetic fields interact with Earth’s magne

OUR NEIGHBOR,ANDROMEDA GALAXY

OUR CLOSEST GALAXY ANDROMEDA..                 Andromeda  is the largest galaxy in the Local Group, which includes the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and dozens of smaller dwarf and irregular galaxies. A recent estimate gave Andromeda 700 billion solar masses. Our Milky Way is only 80% the mass of Andromeda. IMAGE BY :  jpl.nasa.gov                  The Andromeda galaxy was first observed by Persian astronomers, thousands of years ago, and was later cataloged by Charles Messier in 1764. He classified it as M31. In 1912, astronomers calculated its speed to be 300 kilometers per second, moving towards the Sun. Edwin Hubble first calculated the distance to Andromeda, by detecting Cepheid variables in the galaxy. He measured that it was 450 kpc, or 2.5 million light-years away; well outside the Milky Way galaxy.                Recent estimates have calculated that Andromeda Galaxy is about 220,000 light-years in diameter, almost twice the estimate diameter of the Mil
