简介: A sharp, witty, mind-expanding and exuberant foray into the world of logic with computer scientist Professor Dave Cliff. Following in the footsteps of the award-winning 'The Joy of Stats' and its sequel, 'Tails You Win - The Science of Chance', this film takes viewers on a new rollercoaster ride through philosophy, maths, science and technology- all of which, under the bonnet, run on logic. Wielding the same wit and wisdom, animation and gleeful nerdery as its predecessors, this film journeys from Aristotle to Alice in Wonderland, sci-fi to supercomputers to tell the fascinating story of the quest for certainty and the fundamentals of sound reasoning itself. Dave Cliff, professor of computer science and engineering at Bristol University, is no abstract theoretician. 15 years ago he combined logic and a bit of maths to write one of the first computer programs to outperform humans at trading stocks and shares. Giving away the software for free, he says, was not his most logical move... With the help of 25 seven-year-olds, Professor Cliff creates, for the first time ever, a computer made entirely of children, running on nothing but logic. We also meet the world's brainiest whizz-kids, competing at the International Olympiad of Informatics in Brisbane, Australia. 'The Joy of Logic' also hails logic's all-time heroes: George Boole who moved logic beyond philosophy to mathematics; Bertrand Russell, who took 360+ pages but heroically proved that 1 + 1 = 2; Kurt Godel, who brought logic to its knees by demonstrating that some truths are unprovable; and Alan Turing, who, with what Cliff calls an 'almost exquisite paradox', was inspired by this huge setback to logic to conceive the computer. Ultimately, the film asks, can humans really stay ahead? Could today's generation of logical computing machines be smarter than us? What does that tell us about our own brains, and just how 'logical' we really are...?

简介:这部纪录片将呈现北美大陆上最壮丽物种的传记,一种不可思议、毛茸茸的野兽,它在许多令人激动、神话般甚至令人心碎的故事中扮演着核心角色。故事中,水牛给我们带来了很多思考。在19世纪末令人震惊的迅速消失浪潮中,仅存的最后一批较大规模的水牛群惨遭屠杀,当这个数个世纪以来数量庞大的的动物突然间只剩下几百头时,美国人不得不开始重视起来:他们竟能将一个物种推向灭绝边缘。 但是,如果水牛的故事代表了我们摧毁自然界的能力的最戏剧性的展示,它也提供了令人信服的证据,证明我们有能力将一个物种从灭绝的边缘拯救回来。美国水牛历史中最鲜为人知的部分是美国人意识到他们几乎令这种动物灭绝之后,为了弥补过错所做的事情。今天,美国有超过35万头水牛,其中大部分是20世纪初五个初始群体的77只动物的后代。这个故事——从未在电视上讲述过——和水牛消亡的故事一样充满戏剧性和扣人心弦,也同样充...
