Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with meaningless marks on paper.

  • His intellect is extremely well developed, and his insights very thought-provoking. But it surprised me this bright man can be so superstitious in some areas. Or maybe - not up to date with our scientific understandings (today physicists would smile hearing this...)

  • @arlpainbringer

    :D

    "today physicists would smile hearing this"

    Easy to be said, cause you didn't name anything!!! :D

  • Thanks for posting. This is such a wonderful interview. I will be thinking about it for a long time.

  • @jpapare

    This is one of my favorite interview. Prof. Dyson puts each things into right places where they belong; religion is life which is larger than Math (or Sci), & Mathematics is a mere a trade, i.e. there is no conflict between Religion & Math/Sci. Although, I'm not a church or a temple goer, I can still intuitively relate to his organization. BTW my trade is also Mathematics. :D I'm glade, you enjoyed it. :D

    Cheers.

  • @MrDAVIDEO84 I'm sorry, he takes a different perspective on religion than you do.

  • HOW CAN SUCH A BRILLIANT MAN , BE SO OBLIVIOUS

    TO THE TRUTH ???

  • FREEMAN DYSON HAS ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING

    OF RELIGION #1 ) SPECIFICALLY CHRISTIANITY !

    AND #2 ) HE IS A GLORIFIED IDIOT ! SUPPOSEDLY A LEARNED

    SCHOLAR , WHO IS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE LACK OF

    CREDIBLE PROOF OF " TRANSITIONAL LIFE FORMS " HAVING

    NEVER BEEN DISCOVERED WITHIN THE FOSSIL RECORD ! ! !
