[Listener: Christopher Sykes; date recorded: 2011] TRANSCRIPT: I heard later a story… actually, I'm pretty sure it's true. When he was at Cornell, Dyson had an officemate. I think his name was something like Huff or something. And this guy, who was at Brookhaven, told me this story. He said, 'Dyson would come into the office about eleven in the morning, he'd read the 'New York Times'. He'd go to lunch, he'd scribble for about a half an hour and then take a nap and then leave'. And so this guy said, 'You know, he's a pleasant guy but I mean he's obviously... not going to get anywhere with what he's doing'. And keeping this up after a few months, these set of papers on quantum electrodynamics came out. This guy said....this guy left theoretical physics. There was no point. |
