a fantastic video on scale of two counting and binary... the hunt for the Neutron, and build a part of the computer that 'CRACKED' the Enigma Code.

One man, invented binary counting, worked on the hunt for the Neutron, fixed WW2 Radar Stations and build a part of the computer that 'CRACKED' the Enigma Code.

  • Schu changed the title to a fantastic video on scale of two counting and binary... the hunt for the Neutron, and build a part of the computer that 'CRACKED' the Enigma Code.

Awesome :)  One slight correction ... he did NOT invent binary counting; mostly accredited to Leibniz (circa 1700), but (quote from Wikepedia) "we owe the groundwork of today's computing (edit i.e. binary) not to Leibniz but to the Englishman Thomas Harriot and the Spaniard Juan Caramuel de Lobkowitz (1606-1682), whom Leibniz plagiarized." Williams constructed the first electronic binary counteR - a really amazing feat.
