Alan Turing's legacy.

The mathematical genius of our time who pioneered the theory of computers in the 1930s, who won the war of intelligence for Great Britain, was condemned after victory for GB, as a homosexual and had a medical castration done. His death was claimed as suicide as a result of depression. Recently it has been claimed that at the time of his death, he was working on very sensitive information. It has been suggested that he may have been murdered.

I hope this is true!  Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline mentally with age, it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information stored in their brains, scientists believe. Much like a computer struggles as the hard drive becomes full, so humans also take longer to access information. Researchers say this slowing down is not the same as cognitive decline. The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the contrary, they simply know more but may not be able to access the information as well. Also, older people often go to another room to get something and when they get  there, they stand there wondering what they came for. It is NOT a  memory problem, it is nature's way of making older people do more  exercise. SO  THERE!!  ‘I want some more’ an orphan elephant pleading for more milk – An Oliver Twist of the elephants.  Please click on the web-link below :-
