You are welcome. I am beginning to think that Freeman Dyson is a star in his own right.

Thanks for the link MM. Quantum Man sounds like a good read to me.

Were I to be groupie, 'tis in Richard Fenyman's camp I would be- sitting outside of some physics lab, wearing a geeky T-shirt and playing the bongos.

Calling him a star may be lowballing him... wink

That said, the notion of Dyson's aversion to big projects Nicholas Dawidoff expressed in his article The Civil Heretic is particularly fascinating against the backdrop of some of Dyson's concepts.
