Freeman Dyson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. |
 | | As of 2003, Dyson is the president of the Space Studies Institute, the space research organization founded by Gerard K. O'Neill. |
 | | 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". |
