Though not having met Jacque Fresco in person, he has had a huge impact in my life. For most of my life, I wanted to be a doctor due to the monetary and social benefits. This dream of mine was from the tender age of two. At that point in time, I was fascinated by my pediatricians. This continued till around the late 8th grade. It was during the 8th grade where I developed a fascination with physics and wanted to be a physicist. However, when I moved to the United States in the summer of 2014, I…

Athena, also called Athena Parthenos, was a Greek goddess who played a very important and unforgettable role in the time of Greek mythology. She was described as wearing body armor, a golden helmet, carrying a shield as well as a spear (Cartwright, “Athena”). She was often known to people as the protector of the city and the goddess of war, handicraft and practical reason. Athena was also the daughter of Zeus. Though, she did not have a mother; it is said that she appeared full-grown from Zeus’s…

imagine anything of that do the things no one can imagine." The successful mathematician Alan Turing once said this. Faced with many obstacles and critics in his life, he proved this to be true. Many people never thought he would accomplish his ideas, and even as a child he was discouraged from practicing and learning science. Later in life, he made machines and proved theories no one believed were possible. Alan Turing was born on June 23, 1912 in London, England (Hodges 8). Although he did…

INTRODUCTION: The ability of a machine to act and react like humans and resemble the intelligence like them is Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is not a system but it is embedded inside the system like computer. It is a broad branch of computer science which defines the study of intelligent agents. Like humans, the machines also perceive its environment and take the actions accordingly to achieve their goals. The term “Artificial Intelligence” is applied when a machine mimics “cognitive”…

Poland discovered that Germany was preparing for war and gave a replica of the Bomba to the French and British during a meeting in 1939. After the British assembled a team of mathematicians at Bletchley Park codebreaking center, British mathematician Alan Turing developed the Bombe. This new machine also contained many enigma rotor wheels which searched for the rotor order, starting position, and plugboard settings. This would take an extremely long amount of time (especially since German…

This Documentary looks at four brilliant mathematicians; Cantor, Boltzmann, Godel, and Turing for their groundbreaking contributions to mathematics, but also for the mental anguish and personal tragedy in their lives. How big is infinity? What is thermodynamics? These seemingly simple questions are what drove four brilliant mathematicians to insanity and ultimately suicide. “Dangerous Knowledge” delves into the deeper side of mathematics by trying to understand nature through mathematics,…

Alan Turing was a rather exceptional mathematician and scientist who played a crucial role in the development of both modern computing and artificial intelligence. While arguably his most famed achievement is the well known Turing Test he accomplished a bevy of feats in his time. From an early age Mr. Turing displayed an inquisitive mind which was further nurtured and developed as he went off to college where his unusual mind was already beginning to shine. Displaying a startling firm grasp of…

Watchmen, a graphic novel written by Alan Moore, tells the story of a group of masked heroes during a tense moment in the midst of the Cold War. Within the chapters, we are introduced to a multitude of characters and the relationships they maintain between each other. Through these, we are shown how individual perspectives and characteristics can be affected by the influences of those we are close to. Doctor Manhattan changes his opinion on human society after an in-depth conversation with…
