More quotes by Freeman Dyson
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.
Freeman Dyson
Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
Freeman Dyson
The reason why new concepts in any branch of science are hard to grasp is always the same contemporary scientists try to picture the new concept in terms of ideas which existed before.
Freeman Dyson
Some of my friends like to keep science and religion together, but I certainly like to keep them separate.
Freeman Dyson
The only way to improve the chances for finding winners is to keep all the choices open and try them all.
Freeman Dyson
Everything in my life was luck. The key to having an interesting life is to always say yes to anything crazy.
Freeman Dyson
[John Wheeler] rejuvenated general relativity he made it an experimental subject and took it away from the mathematicians
Freeman Dyson
New directions in science are launched by new tools much more often than by new concepts. The effect of a concept-driven revolution is to explain old things in new ways. The effect of a tool-driven revolution is to discover new things that have to be explained.
Freeman Dyson
I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.
Freeman Dyson
If women are doing a Ph.D., they have a conflict between raising a family or finishing the degree, which is just at the worst time - between the ages of 25 to 30 or whatever it is. It ruins the five years of their lives.
Freeman Dyson
The great advances in science usually result from new tools rather than from new doctrines.
Freeman Dyson
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.
Freeman Dyson
The ground of science was littered with the corpses of dead unified theories.
Freeman Dyson
I think science and religion should be separate.
Freeman Dyson
That's the beautiful thing about science - that it's all about things we don't understand, not just the things we do understand.
Freeman Dyson
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
I think it's a big mistake to decide too soon what you're going to do with your life.
Freeman Dyson
People who travel in China tell me that the mood there is still very upbeat, because their media is different from our media. Chinese media emphasize how well things are going and suppress the bad news and publish the good news.
Freeman Dyson
If you go to London now, not everything is beautiful, but it's amazingly better than it was. And the Thames is certainly a lot better: There are fish in the Thames.
Freeman Dyson
The world is just - it's wonderful when you look at all the detail. It's just amazing.
Freeman Dyson
