That was the wonderful thing about Ramanujan. He discovered so much, and yet he left so much more in his garden for other people to discover.

The pain of childbirth is not remembered. It's the child that's remembered.

As finite creatures who think and feel, we can create islands of meaning in the sea of information.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Everything in my life was luck. The key to having an interesting life is to always say yes to anything crazy.

The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.

Just because you see pictures of glaciers falling into the ocean doesn't mean anything bad is happening. This is something that happens all the time. It's part of the natural cycle of things. We know from measurements that glaciers have been melting for 200 years at least.

I have the freedom to do what I want... bright people to talk to every day.

If the tools are bad, nature's voice is muffled. If the tools are good, nature will give us a clear answer to a clear question.

That's, of course, the beautiful thing about science - that it's all about things we don't understand, not just the things we do understand.

It's us that's really amazing. As far as I can see, our concentration of different abilities in one species - there's nothing I can see that in this Darwinian evolution that could've done that. So it seems to be a miracle of some sort.

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
Image
It's as great a part of the human adventure to invent things as to understand them. John Randall wasn't a great scientist, but he was a great inventor. There's been lots more like him, and it's a shame they don't get Nobel Prizes.

Nothing is boring if you look at carefully.
Freeman Dyson
Image
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.

Image
I don't know, but I think it's quite possible that the more science you teach kids in school the more it turns them off, so I don't know. I mean you never can tell which way it will go.

Younger people have so many opportunities. I don't see any pessimism among them.

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.

The thing that makes me most optimistic is China and India - both of them doing well.

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.
