Biology is now bigger than physics, as measured by the size of budgets, by the size of the workforce, or by the output of major discoveries and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.

More quotes by Freeman Dyson
And somehow mother nature manages to create this incredible biosphere, to create this incredibly rich environment of animals and plants with this amazingly small amount of data.
Freeman Dyson
Scepticism is as important for a good journalist as it is for a good scientist.
Freeman Dyson
I am hoping that the scientists and politicians who have been blindly demonizing carbon dioxide for 37 years will one day open their eyes and look at the evidence.
Freeman Dyson
It makes very little sense to believe the output of the climate models.
Freeman Dyson
People who travel in China tell me that the mood there is still very upbeat, because their media is different from our media. Chinese media emphasize how well things are going and suppress the bad news and publish the good news.
Freeman Dyson
The ground of science was littered with the corpses of dead unified theories.
Freeman Dyson
Humanity looks to me like a magnificent beginning but not the final word.
Freeman Dyson
I think it's a big mistake to decide too soon what you're going to do with your life.
Freeman Dyson
I grew up in England and we spent most of the time on Latin and Greek and very little on science, and I think that was good because it meant we didn't get turned off. It was... Science was something we did for fun and not because we had to.
Freeman Dyson
It is our task, both in science and in society at large, to prove the conventional wisdom wrong and to make our unpredictable dreams come true
Freeman Dyson
What the world needs is a small, compact, flexible fusion technology that could make electricity where and when it is needed. The existing fusion program is leading to a huge source of centralized power, at a price that nobody except a government can afford.
Freeman Dyson
Intelligence may indeed be a benign influence creating isolated groups of philosopher-kings far apart in the heavens... On the other hand, intelligence may be a cancer of purposeless technological exploitation, sweeping across a galaxy as irresistibly as it has swept across our own planet.
Freeman Dyson
I'm prejudiced about education altogether. I think it's terribly overrated.
Freeman Dyson
The total disorder in the universe, as measured by the quantity that physicists call entropy, increases steadily over time. Also, the total order in the universe, as measured by the complexity and permanence of organized structures, also increases steadily over time.
Freeman Dyson
The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.
Freeman Dyson
There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use.
Freeman Dyson
If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.
Freeman Dyson
Younger people have so many opportunities. I don't see any pessimism among them.
Freeman Dyson
Ethical progress is the only cure for the damage done by scientific progress.
Freeman Dyson
I am saying that all predictions concerning climate are highly uncertain.
Freeman Dyson
