When a general said in a meeting " We should throw in a nuke once in a while to keep the other side guessing ," Dyson became alarmed and obtained permission to write an objective report discussing the pros and cons of using such weapons from a purely military point of view.

DES was first synthesized in early 1938 by Leon Golberg, then a graduate student of Sir Robert Robinson at the Dyson Perrins Laboratory at the University of Oxford, based on a formulation of Wilfrid Lawson at the Courtand Institute of Biochemistry, led by Sir Edward Charles Dodds at Middlesex Hospital Medical School of the University College London of the University of London, and a report of its synthesis was published in Nature on February 5, 1938.

He showed his formula to the mathematician Atle Selberg who said it looked like something in mathematical physics and he should show it to Dyson, which he did.

A more rigorous proof was provided in 1967 by Freeman Dyson and Andrew Lenard, who considered the balance of attractive ( electron – nuclear ) and repulsive ( electron – electron and nuclear – nuclear ) forces and showed that ordinary matter would collapse and occupy a much smaller volume without the Pauli principle.

Feynman's mathematical technique, based on his diagrams, initially seemed very different from the field-theoretic, operator-based approach of Schwinger and Tomonaga, but Freeman Dyson later showed that the two approaches were equivalent.

Freeman Dyson showed that the imperviousness of solid matter is due to quantum degeneracy pressure rather than electrostatic repulsion as had been previously assumed.

Visiting at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1972, he showed this result to Freeman Dyson, one of the founders of the theory of random matrices.

Even though market research showed that people wouldn ’ t be happy with a transparent container for the dust, Dyson and his team decided to make a transparent container anyway and this turned out to be a popular and enduring feature which has been heavily copied.

He taught a number of classes and in the top class one of the students was the twelve-year-old Freeman Dyson who showed enormous early talent and was strongly encouraged by Dan Pedoe with extra work and reading.

These include the first known instance of what is now called the Dyson sphere, reference to a scenario closely predicting the later zoo hypothesis or Star Trek's Prime Directive, many imaginative descriptions of species, civilizations and methods of warfare, and the idea that the stars and even the pre-galactic nebulae are intelligent beings, operating on vast time scales.

In 1986 Green won the Democratic nomination for the Senate against multimillionaire John Dyson, even though he was outspent 10-1.

Dyson said some overseas students continue to pose a threat even after leaving the UK.

Although his arguments sometimes lacked mathematical rigor even by physicists ' standards and glossed over details such as the derivation of Ward-Takahashi identities of the quantum theory, his calculations worked, and Freeman Dyson soon demonstrated that his method was substantially equivalent to those of Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, with whom Feynman shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Dyson was a Scholar at the renowned Winchester College from 1936 to 1941.

Dyson agrees that anthropogenic global warming exists, and has written that " ne of the main causes of warming is the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere resulting from our burning of fossil fuels such as oil and coal and natural gas.

Freeman Dyson, in his capacity as a military adviser, may have prevented the US from using nuclear weapons in the Vietnam war.

At the British Bomber Command, Dyson and colleagues proposed ripping out two gun turrets from the RAF Lancaster bombers, to cut the catastrophic losses to German fighters in the Battle of Berlin.

Historically they were sometimes called Feynman-Dyson diagrams or Dyson graphs, because when they were introduced the path integral was unfamiliar, and Freeman Dyson's derivation from old-fashioned perturbation theory was easier to follow for physicists trained in earlier methods.

Banks played well, but with the right back Len Chalmers carrying an injury, was powerless to prevent second half goals from Bobby Smith and Terry Dyson giving Spurs a 2 – 0 win and the first " double " of the 20th century.

The idea's genesis came from Niven's attempts to imagine a more efficient version of a Dyson Sphere, which could produce the effect of surface gravity through rotation.

Wycheck would run straight up the field on the right side, to lure linebacker Mike Jones away from receiver Kevin Dyson.

With Jones occupying Wycheck, quarterback Steve McNair would pass the ball to Dyson, who would be open from about five yards out for the score.

Carroll Dyson, a retired pilot and Henderson County resident interviewed by the Houston Press, said in 2009 that the lake attracted " white flight " from metropolitan areas.

Dyson added, " When all your rich people from Dallas and Houston move out here, the thieves are just drawn to them.

Both Dyson spheres and the Ringworld suffer from gravitational instability, however — a major focus of the Ringworld series is coping with this instability in the face of partial collapse of the Ringworld civilization.

* Neologisms from the Internet-with Esther Dyson, Jimmy Wales and more ...

Although eventually unsuccessful for aircraft propulsion, this effect has been widely used on a smaller scale, from packaging machinery for small pills through to the Dyson Air Multiplier bladeless fan.

It began to be argued that digitality or what Esther Dyson referred to as " being digital " had emerged as a separate condition from postmodernity.

In 1741, he left Edinburgh for Newcastle and began to call himself surgeon, though it is doubtful whether he practised, and from the next year dates his lifelong friendship with Jeremiah Dyson ( 1722 – 1776 ).

Military test pilots and former childhood friends, loose cannon Isamu Alva Dyson and the Zentradi mixed race Guld Goa Bowman, are selected to each pilot a new aircraft ( Shinsei Industries ' YF-19 & General Galaxy's YF-21 ) for Project Super Nova, to choose the newest successor to the VF-11 Thunderbolt variable fighter which is currently still in use by the U. N. Spacy military forces.

Had Dyson scored and the extra point been made, it would have been the first Super Bowl overtime period in history.

In the game's final seconds, Lorenzo Neal, Frank Wycheck and Kevin Dyson combined on a 75 yard kickoff return touchdown to give the Titans a 21-16 lead ( 22-16 after the extra point ), allowing Tennessee to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

Hence, when she teleports from one spot on Earth to another, she actually teleports herself to her Dyson sphere from her starting point, and then teleports herself from the sphere to the other point on Earth.

In her article referring to the " Parallel Channel ," PC Forum host Esther Dyson wrote, " around that point, the audience turned hostile.
