Once the main lines of the structure are right, then the details miraculously fit. The problem is the overall design.
Freeman Dyson
Of course, long-distance running has to do with the fact that we're hunters.
Freeman Dyson
Almost everything about the universe is astounding.
Freeman Dyson
You could say science also is an art.
Freeman Dyson
Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.
Freeman Dyson
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth.
Freeman Dyson
