More quotes by Freeman Dyson

Image
The great advances in science usually result from new tools rather than from new doctrines.
Freeman Dyson
Image
There are two different ways of looking at the universe and it's the same universe with two different windows. The science window gives you a view of the world, and the religion window gives you a totally different view. You can't look at both of them at the same time, but they're both true.
Freeman Dyson
Image
The history of mathematics is a history of horrendously difficult problems being solved by young people too ignorant to know that they were impossible.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Everything in my life was luck. The key to having an interesting life is to always say yes to anything crazy.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Technology without morality is barbarous morality without technology is impotent.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Science and religion are, of course, two different ways of looking at the universe and it's the same universe with two different windows.

CO2 is so beneficial...it would be crazy to try to reduce it
Freeman Dyson

I think that the artificial-intelligence people are making a lot of noise recently, claiming that artificial intelligence is making huge progress and we're going to be outstripped by the machines.

Some of my friends like to keep science and religion together, but I certainly like to keep them separate.
Freeman Dyson
Image
I think we're doing pretty well. It's clear the media, of course, always gives you the bad news.
Freeman Dyson
Image
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
Image
Progress in science is often built on wrong theories that are later corrected. It is better to be wrong than to be vague.
Freeman Dyson
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.
Freeman Dyson
Image
When the great innovation appears, it will almost certainly be in muddled, incomplete and confusing form. ... For any speculation which does not at first glance look crazy, there is no hope.
Freeman Dyson
Image
Ethical progress is the only cure for the damage done by scientific progress.
Freeman Dyson
Image
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
Image
I think that what the machines can do, of course, is wonderful, but it's not the same as what the brain can do.
Freeman Dyson
Image
For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin. I just enjoy calculating, and it's an instrument I know how to play. It's almost an athletic performance, in a way. I was just watching the Olympics, and that's how I feel when proving a theorem.

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.
