 Salon People Feature | Freeman Dyson, frog prince of physics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Dyson recalls that his parents expressed their affection by encouraging him to explore arts and culture; they were in their early 40s when they started their family: "[Being raised by my mother and father] was more like being with grandparents than parents, but they certainly loved us in their own fashion.
Dyson translated his mother's lesson to fit what he believed was happening between the military and anti-nuclear activists: "Wherever one looks into the world of human organization, collective responsibility brings a lowering of moral standards.
Dyson is a credible analyst because he is a man who has tasted war, having served in the British military while wrestling with his conscience over the morality of war and all that goes with it.

Freeman John Dyson (born December 15, 1923) is an English-born American physicist and mathematician, famous for his work in quantum mechanics, nuclear weapons design and policy, and for his serious theorizing in futurism and science fiction concepts, including the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Dyson conceived that such structures would be clouds of asteroid-sized space habitats, though science fiction writers have preferred a solid structure: either way, such an artifact is often referred to as a Dyson sphere, although Dyson himself used the term "shell".
Dyson says (20 minutes into a video) that he used the word "artificial biosphere" in the article meaning a habitat, not a shape.

From 1957 to 1961 he worked on the Orion project, which proposed the possibility of space-flight using nuclear propulsion: a prototype was demonstrated using conventional explosives, but a treaty banning the use of nuclear weapons in space caused the project to be abandoned.
In one of his scientific papers, Dyson theorized that a technologically advanced society could completely surround its native star in order to maximize the capture of the star's available energy.
Dyson conceived that such structures would be clouds of asteroid-sized space habitats, though science fiction writers have preferred a solid structure: either way, such an artifact is often referred to as a Dyson sphere.

In 1917 the Astronomer Royal Sir Frank Dyson pointed out that the 1919 solar eclipse provided the ideal opportunity to test the theory as the eclipsed sun would be close to the Hyades star cluster amongst a group of relatively bright stars.
During the eclipse rays of light from stars, passing close to the sun would be bent so that the star images seen from the earth would seem to move away from the sun.
