0:12.0 | Sometimes we just love to hear the human side of science, don't we? |
0:17.0 | Hello, I'm Tom Gilson, and today on ID the future, courtesy of our Discovery Institute sister site, Mind Matters News, we hear Robert |
0:26.8 | Marks speaking with a highly accomplished mathematician and computer scientist Gregory Chayton. Chayton shares stories about even more |
0:35.8 | highly accomplished mathematicians, Landhard Euler and Kurt Gerdle. There's something |
0:41.8 | more than natural going on in their talents. Gertr |

0:47.5 | evolutionary theory in particular. |
0:51.0 | There are few people who can be credited without any controversy with the founding of a game-changing field of mathematics. |
0:58.0 | We are really fortunate today to talk to Gregory Chayton, who has that distinction. |
1:05.0 | Professor Chayton is a co-founder of the field of algorithmic information theory |
1:08.6 | that explores the properties of computer programs. |
1:13.1 | Professor Chayton is the recipient of a handful of honorary |
