Did codebreaker Alan Turing, one of the founders of computing and one of the first to predict artificial intelligence, believe in the supernatural/occult? And might it have played a role in his death? In this video, I explore why this might be true and why it's upsetting.
My name is Paul Sen and I am a TV producer and author with a fascination for science and its history. I make documentaries about science with my production company, Furnace (www.furnacetv.com) and my book “Einstein’s Fridge” (www.furnacetv.com/EinsteinsFridge) came out in 2021. It's a popular and accessible account of thermodynamics, one of the most important and consequential branches of science.
