The truth about the genius scientist Alan Turing's death

Finally, after many efforts to understand and research, experts initially made a clear part of the truth about Alan Turing's death - the mathematician, the logical and the cryptographer, learning the genius of the British and the see the father of computer science.

Alan Turing was born on June 23, 1912. From a very young age, he proved his talents in many areas of mathematics and physics, etc. However, in 1954, he died while at the height of wisdom with many achievements. not yet devoted to humanity. The death was determined by authorities at that time due to suicide with cyanide poison.

100 years later, on a conference held in Oxford (UK) last Saturday (June 23, 2012), based on evidence gathered over the years, Professor Jack Copeland agreed with the conclusion. Turing died of cyanide poisoning but believed it to be an accident.

Alan Turing - father of computer science.

One day in June 1954, Alan Turing's butler was shocked to find that he had died on the bed at the age of 41, half of the apple beside the apple. From here, people compete for " guessing old people" about why he chose to end his life. In it, the cause comes from suffering, despair, from the terrible pressures Turing suffered after admitting that homosexual relations are considered the most logical answer.

However, according to Professor Copeland, Turing had a habit of using a little apple before going to bed and the fact that the apple was only half eaten was very normal but was not analyzed as a sign of onions. intentional motion. In addition, the report from the investigators showed Turing's mood in the last days of his life was very pleasant, comfortable, not even a little unusual.

Thus, Turing's explanation at the time suggested that this death was an accident despite being contrary to the investigation conclusion but received the appreciation from Professor Copeland. Not everyone knows that Turing uses his own room for chemical experiments including cyanide. He routinely conducts this electrolyte solution and uses an electrolytic precipitation method to coat the thin metal of gold onto spoons - the job requires the use of potassium cyanide compounds.

However, the carelessness of the implementation made Turing pay a hefty price by his own life, Copeland argues. There are experiments that he personally tasted chemicals to identify them; There were also experiments that led to serious shocks . And this time, it was likely that Turing accidentally put his apple in a "poisonous pool" of cyanide or inhaled cyanide vapors emitted from the liquid in the liquid form. effervescent bubble.

'The ambiguous details surrounding Turing's death could still continue to be the subject of debate for years to come , ' Professor Copeland said.
