Calculating Tracks

The Turing machine is an abstract model of computer that can calculate anything that is calculable if given enough time and an infinite tape. The Turin Train Terminal is a Turing Machine made with model trains and railroad tracks.

It is said that when a machine will pass this test, it will be as intelligent as a human being. Alan Turing committed suicide with a cyanide laced apple after being persecuted as a homosexual…
