I had the *supreme* honor of meeting Freeman Dyson after a summer lecture at the Chautauqua Institute in the late 80's. I was an undergraduate physics major at a nearby University, and we had a wide-ranging conversation about the future of science and practical applicaitons of mathematics in emerging tech. Wonderful, personable man; a real pleasure to speak with.

I talked with Mr. Dyson (now more than 25 years ago) when he was at the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton). During our conversation, he asked me why I was pursuing my PhD (knowing that he didn't complete his under Hans Bethe at Cornell). I said, "Well, for me it's like a carrot before me and I want to bite it and then eat it." To which he replied, "Okay." Then we talked about other things. May he RIP.
I assume you need the PhD to get in the door so people would take you seriously. Dyson had produced seminal work with Hans Bethe and Feynman, so he was already well inside the door and very productive. At that point the diploma is not important. But he probably should have gotten it anyway just to placate his parents.
I have a BS in electrical engineering and an MS in physics; and I have worked as a full-time physics professor and, presently, a full-time math professor. His story further encourages me to continue my research interests in math, theoretical physics and engineering. Thanks for sharing this.
Awesome! I want to become a professor of CS or Maths, and idk just seeing a random person on youtube who has already made the journey I plan to make is kind of inspiring.
This is the exact feelings i have for mathematics, like playing a piano, i may not be as brilliant as this man far from it i know, but i just see alot of myself in him its amazing, i never relate to anyone like this before my whole life
What a brilliant, curious, and humble man. It is wonderful to see a man of this age still so lucid. His youth reminds me the curiosity Feynman had as a youth. It is sad that science gets choked by men who have an agenda but that has always been so.
Currently reading his book "Origins of Life" and his insights are both lovely and amazing. It reminded me of my love for science since I was a kid. I admit I do not understand a lot of the physics jargon and equations since I am mainly on the medical field, but it is amusing to skim through and read the simplifications. He is indeed a legend.
Great interview... I got to know Teller exceptionally well in '73-75, and Dyson's video description of him was 'spot on'...Dyson lived in the 'golden age' of particle physics when cyclotrons were numerous; and graduated students were given 'hands on' examples - now centrally located chiefly at CERN.

Probably the most amazing fact ive ever heard about anyone is that Freeman Dyson at the age of 6 worked out how many atoms are in the sun. Now for anyone with knowledge of basic mathematics thats not a hard thing to do. Find the formula, find the average density of the sun, plug one into the other. Volume = 4/3Pi r^3.

That moment for me would be the most precious and rewarding for any person to have which makes life all the much worth living.

Shut the fuck up you retarded bitch. Freeman is a senile old man he's allowed to make a fool of himself without a shitheel like you rubbing his nose in it.
I attended a lecture of Freeman Dyson’s in Canterbury University New Zealand in the 1990’s. That the universe brought me to that lecture is proof positive of the utter weird prevalent in the mystery of creation. The six degrees of separation between Freeman Dyson and the rest of the world’s leading physicists and mathematics and science in general is … well … weird.
Wonderful interview with one of the finest scientists that ever lived. Such a terrible shame that there was muzak playing constantly, it is utterly superfluous and can only detract from what is being said.
Not sure, but Quanta Magazine has awesome artists associated with them. I'm sure this is not copied from somewhere. You might find them on the official website (if there is an article on Dyson), or maybe nowhere else.
He's exceptionally humble and understated about himself. In reality, Freeman Dyson was a Genius with the capital G, and an enormously visionary one too.
He is not the Only one guys Professor S N Bose also did'nt had phd..(Boson was named after him)..he didn't got Nobel prize..but many people who worked upon his theory got Nobel prize
Could you elaborate? Sounds like you're saying there's some kind of funding or venture for the creation of a dyson sphere? Would love to get info or a link if that's the case
@@zalooooo Not sure about that one, but it was just an expression of feeling. It feels like we at the brink of Type 1 civilization, where we have ran out of energy sources on earth.
Completely wrong about climate change. No background in that particular science, all a desire to convince people that his gut feelings mattered much. Not very humble about his climate science musings, which had been and continue to be proven wrong.
@@janos1945 So you're OK with an expert in one science commenting on some other science he or she never studied? I guess if you want to call Dyson a pseudoscientist then we could all agree as long as he's commenting on climate. You think a virologist is great at rocket science?
@@scottekoontz Climate science is not reliable, it is a field that still needs a lot of progress. This man was a theoretical physicist and a first rate mathematician, that is enough to have a credible opinion on climate change, he was an expert on it by extension.
@@janos1945 He was clearly not an expert. Here are the zero papers he wrote or co-authored regarding climate science: ... ... (end) Poor guy had some gut feelings, and you think they were papers.
It is not easy to understand the the language of the Old western people..... Another Great man like him where you cant understand what he talks is "Noalm Chomsky"
"The human race must start leaving Earth within 30 years to avoid being wiped out by over-population and climate change, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned."
Seán O'Nilbud "Clive Hamilton in his "Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Change" describes a dark relief that comes from accepting that "catastrophic climate change is virtually certain." This obliteration of "false hopes," he says, requires an intellectual knowledge and an emotional knowledge. The first is attainable. The second, because it means that those we love, including our children, are almost certainly doomed to insecurity, misery and suffering within a few decades, if not a few years, is much harder to acquire. To emotionally accept impending disaster, to attain the gut-level understanding that the power elite will not respond rationally to the devastation of the ecosystem, is as difficult to accept as our own mortality. The most daunting existential struggle of our time is to ingest this awful truth -- intellectually and emotionally -- and rise up to resist the forces that are destroying us." Chris Hedges
This scientist is telling me that Richard Feynman is a genius and another scientist online is telling me that Richard Feynman is overrated. Who do I listen to?
Freeman Dyson's view on climate is the one we should adopt, that is to be skeptic. That's the correct way of science. To push a conclusion to the public that's not solid or well understood enough is simply not a good idea.
Unfortunately it is pretty well understood. By this I mean that we understand the impact that CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) have on the climate. They cause a warming effect. This exact effect was first predicted in the late 19th century, and it was confirmed in the 20th. Our predictions have been frighteningly accurate, if a bit conservative. The evidence is absolutely overwhelming at this point. We have already been very skeptical, and it turns out that the people saying that CO2 causes global warming which will change the climate were right.
Smartest men in the world couldn't get rockets to space. But here comes the Nazi's and the Federal Government doing what no one else can do! I think Dyson was correct in saying, all the rockets do is bomb bomb bomb.
philosophy answers questions beyond the scope of science. Life on Earth is confined to an absolute and finite atmosphere. For those interested in longevity and optimization, it is their right and duty to overcome exploitation economics

This guy looks amazingly physically similar to late John Nash!
Absolute legend
Amazing man, no PhD and can increase people's understanding of scientific knowledge!
Moral of the story: You don't need a PhD if you do pioneering work with Feynman and Bethe
Absolutely Great Man.
The man the Dyson sphere is named after!
Brilliant!
Happy New year
Very good!!
We are getting to see the 1st stage of conceptualizing and creating a dyson sphere.
Could you elaborate? Sounds like you're saying there's some kind of funding or venture for the creation of a dyson sphere? Would love to get info or a link if that's the case
@@zalooooo Not sure about that one, but it was just an expression of feeling. It feels like we at the brink of Type 1 civilization, where we have ran out of energy sources on earth.
@@nisc_k A type 1 civilisation has nothing to do with running out. Its about the amount of Energy a Civilisation can use.
wow so amazing..
The title of the music please !!

he is right about climate, so humble, that's a genius trait.
Completely wrong about climate change. No background in that particular science, all a desire to convince people that his gut feelings mattered much. Not very humble about his climate science musings, which had been and continue to be proven wrong.
@@scottekoontz This man has more background than any climate change pseudoscientist 🤣
@@janos1945 So you're OK with an expert in one science commenting on some other science he or she never studied? I guess if you want to call Dyson a pseudoscientist then we could all agree as long as he's commenting on climate.
You think a virologist is great at rocket science?
@@scottekoontz Climate science is not reliable, it is a field that still needs a lot of progress. This man was a theoretical physicist and a first rate mathematician, that is enough to have a credible opinion on climate change, he was an expert on it by extension.
@@janos1945 He was clearly not an expert. Here are the zero papers he wrote or co-authored regarding climate science:

Poor guy had some gut feelings, and you think they were papers.
It is not easy to understand the the language of the Old western people.....
Another Great man like him where you cant understand what he talks is "Noalm Chomsky"
May God bless you sir
Happy birthday Mr. Feynman.
"The human race must start leaving Earth within 30 years to avoid being wiped out by over-population and climate change, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned."
Not really.
Seán O'Nilbud
"Clive Hamilton in his "Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Change" describes a dark relief that comes from accepting that "catastrophic climate change is virtually certain." This obliteration of "false hopes," he says, requires an intellectual knowledge and an emotional knowledge. The first is attainable. The second, because it means that those we love, including our children, are almost certainly doomed to insecurity, misery and suffering within a few decades, if not a few years, is much harder to acquire. To emotionally accept impending disaster, to attain the gut-level understanding that the power elite will not respond rationally to the devastation of the ecosystem, is as difficult to accept as our own mortality. The most daunting existential struggle of our time is to ingest this awful truth -- intellectually and emotionally -- and rise up to resist the forces that are destroying us."

This guy lived upto his name.
Forget the Dyson spheres, I am a big fan of his hair dryers.
Know who else didn't have a PhD? Jay Forrester, and he did okay.
If you mention the name Dyson in Britain they think you are talking about the guy who sells vacuum cleaners, fans, and stupidly expensive hair dryers.
Which is odd as Dyson was English.
Bacana. As ciências exatas são lindas construções da humanidade.
God bless him!
I always wondered who was behind that great vacuum
Wonderful
Holy suit, he has a perfect blend of American and English accent
@@ccriztoff u don't say
He was named Freeman for a reason.
famous
the guy
movement
i loved to listen
result
it will take alot of hard work journey
This scientist is telling me that Richard Feynman is a genius and another scientist online is telling me that Richard Feynman is overrated. Who do I listen to?
are you talking about unzickers view? he talks a lot of rubbish
Freeman Dyson's view on climate is the one we should adopt, that is to be skeptic. That's the correct way of science. To push a conclusion to the public that's not solid or well understood enough is simply not a good idea.
Unfortunately it is pretty well understood. By this I mean that we understand the impact that CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) have on the climate. They cause a warming effect. This exact effect was first predicted in the late 19th century, and it was confirmed in the 20th. Our predictions have been frighteningly accurate, if a bit conservative. The evidence is absolutely overwhelming at this point. We have already been very skeptical, and it turns out that the people saying that CO2 causes global warming which will change the climate were right.
1:32 Richard Feynman
Smartest men in the world couldn't get rockets to space. But here comes the Nazi's and the Federal Government doing what no one else can do! I think Dyson was correct in saying, all the rockets do is bomb bomb bomb.
philosophy answers questions beyond the scope of science. Life on Earth is confined to an absolute and finite atmosphere. For those interested in longevity and optimization, it is their right and duty to overcome exploitation economics
Philosophy is a pile of books endlessly redefining terms achieving nothing. You've confused the map with the terrain.
Philosophy is a love of knowledge, and a technique of thought. one book may contain many lifetimes of wisdom. achieve what?
LOUD MUSIC
Great vacuum cleaners too. This guy has it all.
I have not got a Ph.D. either.
Interesting
