1912 — 1954

Mathematician. Codebreaker. Pioneer. Martyr.

"The original question, 'Can machines think?' I believe to be too meaningless to deserve discussion."

— Alan Turing

A Contemplation

In the imitation game, the question is not whether machines can think, but whether we can tell the difference. Perhaps the question reveals more about us than about machines.

For Today

Honor those who work in mathematics and logic. Their abstract investigations become the foundation of practical technologies.
