More quotes by Freeman Dyson
To give us room to explore the varieties of mind and body into which our genome can evolve, one planet is not enough.
Freeman Dyson
All the time worrying about pushing the children and getting them to be mathematically literate and all that stuff. It's terribly hard on the kids. It's also hard on the teachers. And I think it's totally useless.
Freeman Dyson
Most of the papers which are submitted to the Physical Review are rejected, not because it is impossible to understand them, but because it is possible. Those which are impossible to understand are usually published.
Freeman Dyson
Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.
Freeman Dyson
The seeds from Ramanujan's garden have been blowing on the wind and have been sprouting all over the landscape. [On the stimulating effects of Ramanujan's mathematical legacy.]
Freeman Dyson
That's what I learned from World War II. Things are always more complicated than most people believe.
Freeman Dyson
The media always tries to make everything into a disaster, but it's mostly rubbish.
Freeman Dyson
It makes very little sense to believe the output of the climate models.
Freeman Dyson
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.
Freeman Dyson
A model is done when nothing else can be taken out.
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
For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.
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
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 bottom line for mathematicians is that the architecture has to be right. In all the mathematics that I did, the essential point was to find the right architecture. It's like building a bridge. Once the main lines of the structure are right, then the details miraculously fit. The problem is the overall design.
Freeman Dyson
It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear.
Freeman Dyson
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
Nothing is boring if you look at carefully.
Freeman Dyson
As we look out into the Universe and identify the many accidents of physics and astronomy that have worked together to our benefit, it almost seems as if the Universe must in some sense have known that we were coming.
Freeman Dyson
The language that nature speaks is the same language that we invented for mathematics. That's just an amazing piece of luck, which we don't understand.
Freeman Dyson
