The late Freeman Dyson’s views on the environment weren’t popular, but they expressed his deep optimism about science and technology, writes frankwilczek
The physicist Freeman Dyson, who died in late February, believed that scientific ingenuity would find a way to save the planetFreeman Dyson, who died Feb. 28 at the age of 96, was one of the smartest people I’ve ever known, and one of the sweetest.
For several years I occupied the office directly under his at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. The sound insulation was good but not perfect: Ordinary conversations were inaudible, but when Freeman talked on the telephone he spoke louder, and I could hear him then, though I rarely made out specific words. What did penetrate, reliably, was his laughter. It was a frequent, welcome source of joy.
