Freeman John Dyson FRS (15 December 1923 – 28 February 2020) [1] was a British-American theoretical physicist and mathematician known for his works in quantum field theory, astrophysics, random matrices, mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and engineering.
From Eros to Gaia is a non-fiction scientific book of 35 non-technical writings by Freeman Dyson, Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. This book is a collection of essays written from 1933 (when Dyson was nine years old) to 1990. [2] It was originally published by Pantheon Books in 1992.

Inspired by the 1937 science fiction novel Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon, [5] the physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson was the first to formalize the concept of what became known as the "Dyson sphere" in his 1960 Science paper "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infra-Red Radiation". Dyson theorized that as the energy requirements of ...
Freeman Dyson in 2005 Astrochicken is the name given to a thought experiment expounded by theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson . An Astrochicken is a small, one-kilogram spacecraft , a self-replicating automaton that could explore space more efficiently than a crewed craft could due to its innovative mix of technology.
Freeman Dyson in 2005. Dyson's transform is a fundamental technique in additive number theory. [1] It was developed by Freeman Dyson as part of his proof of Mann's theorem, [2]: 17 is used to prove such fundamental results of additive number theory as the Cauchy-Davenport theorem, [1] and was used by Olivier Ramaré in his work on the Goldbach conjecture that proved that every even integer is ...
Freeman Dyson in 2005. Dyson's eternal intelligence (the Dyson Scenario) is a hypothetical concept, proposed by Freeman Dyson in 1979, by which an immortal society of intelligent beings in an open universe may escape the prospect of the heat death of the universe by performing an infinite number of computations (as defined below) though expending only a finite amount of energy.
The book is a collection of essays, prefaces, and book reviews concerning miscellaneous topics. Its title is taken from the title of an essay which originated as a November 1992 talk at a Cambridge, UK meeting of scientists and philosophers. Dyson dedicated his talk to the memory of Eric James, Baron James of Rusholme, who died in May 1992. [2]
