A Turing Machine - Overview

Jun 5, 2011 - I think it's brilliant that it literally prints 1's and 0's

Jul 18, 2011 - WOwwwww.....I FALLED IN LOVE WITH YOUR MACHINE!!!!

Jul 18, 2011 - Actually i used to study the TMs, PDAs, DFAs, NFAs in my Books... But when i saw your implementation i was impressed! I know our cell phones and PCs are much sophisticated but it was like watching Universe growing out of Big Bang! Good Job.Do you have videos for PDAs too!??

Aug 27, 2011 - But can it run Minecraft?

megakid39 Says:

Aug 27, 2011 - In all seriousness though, can I buy one of these from you? I'm not very rich, so it'd be nice if you could make it smaller or something, but still, this is awesome!

deadbutler Says:

Aug 30, 2011 - Very nice! That would be a perfect centerpiece for a geek like me. Very well made.

Scrat9518 Says:

Sep 18, 2011 - @megakid39 Yes. Very slowly.

megakid39 Says:

Sep 18, 2011 - @Scrat9518 :D

Sep 20, 2011 - Cool! Also check out the Alan Turing clip in the My Favourite Scientist series.

mazaltow Says:

Sep 21, 2011 - does it run crysis?

herbivore007 Says:

Oct 23, 2011 - @mazaltow thoretically seen... it could. Howeber, It would probably take over 9000 years

It's only a conceptualization, but... feed it a Möbius strip, then have the machine run a Quine program. Thinking about it, I ran into the problem of entropy (Asimov's Last Question). Myself and the gallerist of Gaia thought of many, many good sources for more randomness (signal to noise - I'll race ya!). That brings back to mind the Cryptonomicon, from Neal Stephenson.

Nov 12, 2011 - Very good job.The turing machine was the turning point, and beginning of computer science, i think that know there should be a turing machine that learns. Once again enjoyed your video and the hard work it must have taken you. : )

Nov 21, 2011 - Computing in its purest form.

BigUglyNakedGuy Says:

Nov 22, 2011 - Very good job

FlargidyTV Says:

Nov 29, 2011 - I don't think it's possible to have made this any more boring. But great information.

Minolo3DS Says:

Dec 1, 2011 - @mazaltow Given enough time, it sure does!

777Skeptic Says:

Jan 6, 2012 - So it takes a computer 50 steps to count from 11 to 16?

danielvalenzuela7 Says:

Jan 9, 2012 - how much would it cost to build that beauty?

PoliticalHell Says:

Jan 11, 2012 - @777Skeptic Well, given that a computer can do billions of steps per second, it's not really a lot.

faaabio4011 Says:

Jan 12, 2012 - Turing machine: now with SD reader!

therealmdavey Says:

Jan 12, 2012 - @danielvalenzuela7 I think I spent about $300 on it, but I had a lot of motors and other parts on hand.

ebaklund Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - I am sure some museum or convener would like to have this impressive implementation as a showcase.

mignik01 Says:

Feb 8, 2012 - @777Skeptic this is the basics of computing shown right in front of you.
