    I keep coming back to watch this doc, I find it so inspiring I never grow tired of it. It's the same feeling as when I was a little kid and asked for the same story over and over.

    There is a huge difference between this work and the more recent ones, it is more insightful. The flow of ideas is consistent through figures, shapes, examples and metaphors. There is so much detail, and the directing and story telling are wonderful. Thanks for the time and effort Adam.

    My uni teacher of systemic recommended this video to us saying it was one of the best and most simple out there for understanding the basic principles of Shannon, she was right this is really well done.

    It's worth noting that Shannon's main line of work was not proving that information can be perfectly encoded! He did all of this as a side work from his main line of work at Bell Labs and he did it at 21 years old! He was definitely beyond remarkable. Nice video, it was a nice recap to one of my favourite stories about scientific discoveries.

      On the contrary; it is a testament to the rare and precious in life. There are at least 100s of million of average performers out there for any given skill or job. Out of approx 7 billion people, there are only thousands of people out there who are so far beyond their fellow man, you and I should feel privileged to even know they exist. Quality, not quantity my dear watson; QUALITY.

      @philipjohansson3949 10 років тому +6

      Timur Khan I prefer quality in performance and quantity in viewership. At least for the content creators who produce this high-quality material. To argue that we should feel privileged because we can see what others don't just seems selfish. Surely, we should do our best to share these videos and let as many as possible in on our little "secret", delve's videos?

    • @timurkhan5671
      @timurkhan5671 10 років тому +3

      Our privilege (you/me/viewers) is a result of our pursuit to enlighten ourselves by seeking out the extraordinary, hence confirming our own personal ability to transcend the average. There is no secret to be had, nor selfish intent in the diffusion of knowledge. Let those who gorge on a smorgasbord of LiEs and DeCePtIOn continue their feast of mortality. Let those who DELVE beyond what the eyes can see, satiate their appetites with the fruits of Knowledge and Life.

    I'm a retired electronic engineer and many decades ago (late 80's?), I attended a conference at which Shannon was the guest speaker (along with his wife Betty), where I had the privilege of shaking his hand. During his address he said he was honoured to be invited and he made everyone laugh when he admitted he couldn't understand a word in any of the other papers.

    I have always thought that Shannon is someone the public should know more of. Just because it will give them a more accurate idea of the field of science. I bet there are kids growing up (and adults too) who think that Neil deGrasse Tyson is the most important scientist in the world. While science communicators play an important role in science, I think its important that people know the real minds behind the ideas that provided crucial steps forward in humanity's development.

    The Spanish subtitles for this video appear to be incorrect by claiming that the date of publication for Shannon's paper is 1949 when the audio clearly says "nineteen forty-eight". Wikipedia agrees with the 1948 date.
