Dyson was never comfortable with having the sphere named after him.

Interesting how Dyson was credited with the "sphere" but the concept was actually proposed before him back in the 30's plus a true sphere wouldn't even work, really is a ring or cluster of millions of independent orbiting power-sats. All that said, indeed, hope Dyson was at peace with his/The Maker.

    Hello out there,

    Oops this sounds sentimental. It is.

    https://www.space.com/freeman-dyson-dead-at-96.html

    Only knew him by name & fame_yet I honestly suffer he had to let go.

    Anybody on the list who was fortunate to talk to him in person?
    And what did her say to you?

    I did talk to a person who did, early this century. Casual chat it
    was.

    Maybe his son carries on his missive for awhile.

    Both are remembered a lot on YouTube fortunately.

    John D.
