I need to take a moment to recognize an outstanding
mathematician and physicist who passed away on February 28, 2020, Professor
Freeman Dyson. Professor Dyson really was a brilliant man who motivated me in
many ways. He won numerous awards and recognition and has theorems and
mathematical processes named after him. Despite his many achievements and
recognition he was never considered for a Nobel Prize, an oversight many of his
colleagues questioned. There was a theory for this Nobel oversight of Professor
Freeman’s accomplishments and contributions to math and science, he was not a
Ph.D., he had a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics. To me this was actually
his greatest contribution all of us, he was proof that intelligence and
understanding is not based on the kind or amount of initials a person has after
their name.
God Speed Professor Dyson. I greatly appreciate all that you
have done for math and the sciences and the help you provided me. I hope that
this new stage of your life brings you new opportunities and the chance to see one
of your greatest predictions, a Dyson Sphere.
