在這部紀錄片裡,大衛·馬龍聚焦四位無與倫比的數學家:喬治·康托爾、路德維格・玻爾茲曼、哥德爾和阿蘭·圖靈。他們的天才光耀千古,他們的智慧深刻地影響了後世的我們。但是當同時代的人用尖刻的、猛烈的批評表達他們的反對意見時,它能產生一種悲劇性的結果,使他們精神錯亂,最終都以自殺結束了自己的生命。 本片也與目前最著名的學者進行了對話。包括Greg Chaitin——紐約IBM TJ華生研究中心的數學家,以及羅傑·彭羅斯等人,他們仍在孜孜不倦地探尋世上到底是否有數學家不能弄明白的事。 《危險的知識》抓住了一些現實的深刻的問題,目前數學家仍在力圖給出解答。請看一下下面的信息:這是一部完整的紀錄片,只是因爲技術原因才分爲兩部分。觀看的時候要看完,而且請不要在看第一部分之前看第二部分。 1 of 2 上帝的信使 這部片子從喬治·康托爾開始講起。他是一位偉大的數學家,創立的集合論已被尊爲20世紀全部數學的基礎。他認爲自己是上帝的信使。因爲他的老師利奧波德·克羅內克痛恨並敵視他以及他的理論,來自數學權威們的巨大精神壓力終於摧垮了康托爾,結果康托爾精神失常,最終被瘋狂所驅使,力圖證明自己的無窮數理論。事實上,他的晚年是在精神病院度過的。 路德維格・玻爾茲曼力爭證明原子和概率的存在,而奧斯特瓦爾德和馬赫的強烈批評使他深感失望,導致了他最後的自殺。 2 of 2 謎團 哥德爾是愛因斯坦的一位性格內向的密友,一位智慧巨人。哥德爾定理粉碎了邏輯最終將使我們理解整個世界的夢想,同時也引發了許多富有挑戰性的問題。他證明了形式數論(即算術邏輯)系統的「不完全性定理」:即使把初等數論形式化之後,在這個形式的演繹系統中也總可以找出一個合理的命題來,在該系統中既無法證明它爲真,也無法證明它爲假。哥德爾最終在一家療養院絕食而死,因爲他認爲那些食物有毒。 阿蘭·圖靈,恩尼格瑪密電碼的破譯者,計算機科學 「人工智慧之父」,同性戀者。圖靈爲證明一些永遠不能被證實的事情而死,外界的說法是服毒自殺,一代天才就這樣走完了人生。(獻給本文所有偉大而孤獨的悲劇英靈。喵喵驢驢譯,錯誤之處煩請各位達人指正,謝謝。部分資料來源於網絡。) In this one-off documentary, David Malone looks at four brilliant mathematicians - Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing - whose genius has profoundly affected us, but which tragically drove them insane and eventually led to them all committing suicide. The film also talks to the latest in the line of thinkers who have continued to pursue the question of whether there are things that mathematics and the human mind cannot know. They include Greg Chaitin, mathematician at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center, New York, and Roger Penrose. Dangerous Knowledge tackles some of the profound questions about the true nature of reality that mathematical thinkers are still trying to answer today. see notes below:1 documentary, only split for technical reasons. broadcast in 1, watch in 1, get both parts, don't start to watch pt2 before pt1. 1 of 2 God's messenger The film begins with Georg Cantor, the great mathematician whose work proved to be the foundation for much of the 20th-century mathematics. He believed he was God's messenger and was eventually driven insane trying to prove his theories of infinity. Ludwig Boltzmann's struggle to prove the existence of atoms and probability eventually drove him to suicide. 2 of 2 The Enigma Kurt Gödel, the introverted confidant of Einstein, proved that there would always be problems which were outside human logic. His life ended in a sanatorium where he starved himself to death. Finally, Alan Turing, the great Bletchley Park code breaker, father of computer science and homosexual, died trying to prove that some things are fundamentally unprovable. 轉自VeryCD
