Stephen Blackwood speaks with Freeman Dyson, the late
mathematical-physicist and renowned free thinker. They begin with a
discussion of education and of the formative experiences that
inspired Dyson's intellectual curiosity and courage. The
conversation then ranges from evolution to particle physics to
consciousness as they discuss the free and non-reductive character
of both thought and nature. Along the way, Dyson shares many
stories from his long and adventuresome life; this interview was
one of his last. One can only be astounded by the depth and breadth
and fearlessness of his intellect and the power of his insight and
example.
Requiescat in pace.
