More quotes by Freeman Dyson
Mind and intelligence are woven into the fabric of our universe in a way that altogether surpasses our understanding.
Freeman Dyson
For me, science is just a bunch of tools - it's like playing the violin.
Freeman Dyson
Nothing is boring if you look at carefully.
Freeman Dyson
It is not surprising that honest and well-informed experts can disagree about facts. But beyond the disagreement about facts, there is another deeper disagreement about values.
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

Freeman Dyson
The thing that makes me most optimistic is China and India - both of them doing well.
Freeman Dyson
We won't really understand the brain until we can make models of it which are analog rather than digital, which nobody seems to be trying very much.
Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson
Science and religion are, of course, two different ways of looking at the universe and it's the same universe with two different windows.
Freeman Dyson

Freeman Dyson

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 like people who are working on practical things and who are working in teams. It's not so important to get the glory. It's much more important to get something that works. It's a better way to live.
Freeman Dyson
I mean science was blamed for all the horrors of World War I, just as it's blamed today for nuclear weapons and quite rightly.
Freeman Dyson
The great advances in science usually result from new tools rather than from new doctrines.
Freeman Dyson
Scepticism is as important for a good journalist as it is for a good scientist.
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
A model is done when nothing else can be taken out.
Freeman Dyson
