February 29, 20206 yr The great mathematician and physicist died yesterday, at 96. A very interesting scientist and nice person, he once said Aviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes  😄 RIP Mr Dyson Edited February 29, 20206 yr by domkle Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam Â
February 29, 20206 yr So many see his name and immediately think of sci-fi Dyson spheres, instead of the more credible Dyson swarms. (I like Ringworlds even better, though) Always sad to see when anyone leaves this mortal coil, but an extra sense of loss sometimes for somebody who contributed so much to the sum of human knowledge. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.  Devons rig Intel Core i5 13600K @ 5.1GHz / G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series Ram 64GB / GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING OC 12G Graphics Card / Sound Blaster Z / Meta Quest 2 VR Headset / Klipsch® Promedia 2.1 Computer Speakers / ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q ‑ 27" IPS LED Monitor ‑ QHD / 1x Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB / 2x Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB / 1x Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe / 1x Samsung 980 NVMe 1TB / 2 other regular hd's with up to 10 terabyte capacity / Windows 11 Pro 64-bit / Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX Motherboard LGA 1700 DDR5
February 29, 20206 yr Author There is indeed much, much more than the sphere in Dyson's achievements ! There is a long interview of him segmented in 157 pieces (!) on YouTube in the "Web of Stories - Life Stories of Remarkable People" series.  He was one the last of the old guard who shaped up modern physics in the last half of the 20 th century. And like Gell-Mann he had an interest for many things beyond physics. A true scientific mind.    Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam Â
