Man Who Broke the German Enigma Code !

Image
Alan Turing was an influential British mathematician, logician, and computer scientist who lived from 1912 to 1954. He made significant contributions to various fields, including computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, and cryptography. Turing is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of computer science and a pioneer in the development of theoretical computer science. During World War II, Turing played a crucial role in breaking the German Enigma code, which was used for encrypted military communications. He led a team of codebreakers at Bletchley Park, a British intelligence centre, and developed the Bombe, an electromechanical device that helped decrypt Enigma-encrypted messages. Turing's work on codebreaking is believed to have significantly shortened the war and saved countless lives. In addition to his contributions to cryptography, Turing is known for his concept of the "Turing machine." The Turing machine is an abstract mathematical model...

"Mathematical Bridge"

Image
The Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge is a famous wooden bridge located in the city of Cambridge, England. It spans the River Cam and connects two parts of Queen's College: the main court and the Mathematical Bridge itself. The bridge's design is an arch-shaped structure made entirely of straight timbers, without the use of any metal fastenings like nails or screws. It is an impressive example of mathematical engineering and craftsmanship. Although the current bridge was constructed in 1902, it is a reconstruction of an earlier bridge built in 1749 by William Etheridge. This earlier version was also known as the Mathematical Bridge due to its unique design.  According to popular myth, the bridge was designed by Sir Isaac Newton, the renowned mathematician and physicist who taught at Cambridge University. However, this claim is not accurate, as the bridge was constructed long after Newton's time. The name "Mathematical Bridge" likely originates from the precision an...

The "Poison Squad"

Image
The "Poison Squad" refers to a group of volunteers led by Dr Harvey Washington Wiley in the early 20th century. Dr Wiley was a chemist and the chief chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Chemistry (now known as the Food and Drug Administration or FDA). The Poison Squad conducted a series of experiments from 1902 to 1907 to investigate the potential dangers of chemical preservatives and food additives commonly used during that time. The volunteers, known as the "Poison Squad," consumed meals containing various additives and preservatives to assess their impact on human health. Dr Wiley's objective was to improve food safety standards and advocate for the passage of legislation to regulate the use of harmful chemicals in food products. His work played a crucial role in raising awareness about the need for food regulation and ultimately led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. The Pure Food and Drug Act aimed t...

"Manhattanhenge"

Image
Manhattanhenge refers to a phenomenon that occurs in New York City, specifically in Manhattan, where the setting sun aligns with the east-west streets of the city's grid system. The term "Manhattanhenge" is a play on words, combining "Manhattan," the borough of New York City, with "Stonehenge," the prehistoric monument in England known for its alignment with the rising and setting sun during certain times of the year. Twice a year, usually around late May and mid-July, the setting sun aligns perfectly with the east-west streets of Manhattan, creating a stunning visual effect. As the sun sets, it appears to be framed by the city's buildings, creating a breathtaking spectacle as the sunlight extends along the entire width of the street, casting a warm glow and illuminating both the buildings and the street itself. During Manhattanhenge, crowds of people gather on the streets, particularly at major crossroads like 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, and 57t...

Salmon of Knowledge !

Image
The Big Fish statue, also known as the Salmon of Knowledge , is a prominent and iconic landmark located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Standing 10 meters long, the sculpture is a shimmering representation of a stylized fish, crafted from blue and white ceramic tiles. Designed by John Kindness and installed in 1999 as part of a regeneration project in the city, the Big Fish has become one of Belfast's most recognizable symbols. It is situated at Donegall Quay, along the banks of the River Lagan, near the Lagan Weir and the Clarendon Dock. The design of the sculpture was inspired by the historical significance of the River Lagan and its association with salmon. The fish itself is covered in a mosaic of ceramic tiles that depict various historical scenes, symbols, and texts that are significant to Belfast's rich heritage. These tiles showcase everything from maps and historical events to famous figures and quotes, providing a visual narrative of the city's past. One side of th...

What Are Our Options ?

They (politicians) go around begging and trying to convince the public that they are doing it for the good of the public by bringing developments to the land.  This is the story that we have been hearing for more than seven decades and shows me if any such developments in this land.  Only two people in the society developed beyond anyone's wildest imagination.  They are the politicians and their cohorts only.  Now we are left with only three options.  The first one is to fight back, but it is very remote because most Sri Lankans are timid.  The second is to do nothing and take hardships in our strides.  The last is to join them and plunder.  At least based on past activities, we know that no one will ever be prosecuted in Sri Lanka for doing that.

A Gallant Gentlemen ( John Cobb )

Image
John Cobb was a British racing driver who achieved notable records in both land speed and water speed. Land Speed Records   John Cobb was known for his accomplishments in land-speed racing.  On September 16, 1938, he set a new land speed record of 350.2 mph (563.5 km/h) in the Railton Special, known as the "Pioneer I."  This record-breaking run occurred at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA.      Water Speed Records   I n addition to land speed racing, John Cobb also pursued water speed records. On August 29, 1939, he achieved a new water speed record of 141.74 mph (228.08 km/h) on Loch Ness, Scotland, in his boat called the "Crusader."  Unfortunately, this record was short-lived due to the outbreak of World War II.   Crusader II After the war, Cobb built a new boat called the "Crusader II" to break the water speed record.  On September 29, 1952, he attempted to set a new record at Loch Ness.  Tragically, the boat suffered a ca...
