Freeman Dyson has died at 96 years old. He has been a creative and productive physicist, and I always enjoyed reading his work. In his early career he worked on the nature of fields like electric fields, for example. That branch of physics is called Quantum Field Theory, and it is amazing.
Mia Dyson says her father, at the age of 96 still regularly went to his office at Princeton University. "You could tell that the world was a beautiful place through his eyes, and somehow understanding all the formulas and the natural laws and all the mysteries he had plumbed through the study of physics, that it only grew more and more beautiful, the more he understood."
