More quotes by Freeman Dyson
The great advances in science usually result from new tools rather than from new doctrines.
Freeman Dyson
Well germ warfare of course exists. There have been on a small scale... There have been, of course, a few people who got killed with anthrax right here in Princeton.
Freeman Dyson
The fact that the climate is getting warmer doesn't scare me at all. There's no reason why one should be scared.
Freeman Dyson
I am acutely aware of the fact that the marriage between mathematics and physics, which was so enormously fruitful in past centuries, has recently ended in divorce.
Freeman Dyson
We do not know how much of the environmental change is due to human activities and how much [is due] to long-term natural processes over which we have no control.
Freeman Dyson
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.
Freeman Dyson
Technology must be guided and driven by ethics if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.
Freeman Dyson
I think the fact that Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World and talked about anthrax bombs probably helped because at least we... people had the understanding before the war began that's something we didn't want to get into.
Freeman Dyson
There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use.
Freeman Dyson
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
Ethical progress is the only cure for the damage done by scientific progress.
Freeman Dyson
I think science and religion should be separate.
Freeman Dyson
We do not need to have an agreed set of goals before we do something ambitious!
Freeman Dyson
We simply don't know yet what's going to happen to the carbon in the atmosphere.
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
The media always tries to make everything into a disaster, but it's mostly rubbish.
Freeman Dyson
If we want to go to space with humans, that's for fun not for science. Human adventures in space are just sporting events.
Freeman Dyson
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.
Freeman Dyson
Most of the papers which are submitted to the Physical Review are rejected, not because it is impossible to understand them, but because it is possible. Those which are impossible to understand are usually published.
Freeman Dyson
The important thing is that we now have the tools to sequence all kinds of animals and plants and microbes - as well as humans. It is not important that we didn't actually finish the human sequence yet.
Freeman Dyson
