About Astrophysics

About Environment

"The Danger of Cosmic Genius." How could Freeman Dyson be so dumb about ...? Atlantic (via @grahamfermelo on Facebook).

[Republic of Math's words related to the above] "The question is: why is everyone else so stupid?” @tttabata How could Freeman Dyson be so dumb? http://bit.ly/9HET8p

[From Eman to Republic of Math and me] I don't like calling him dumb; he is a great scientist!

[To Eman] My shortening of the words by "The Atlantic" magazine and further shortening of them in Republic of Math's retweet seem to have made you misunderstand. I highly respect Freeman Dyson as you do. The word "dumb" has been used in the lead of the article of "The Atlantic" not to mean "stupid" but to intend to say "not speaking (about global warming)."

[From Eman] I understand that you were just reporting. I was just expressing my objection to the use of "dumb" with a good scientist like him!

About Life Science
