Freeman Dyson Quotes

In Oppenheimer's View, It Would Be A Waste Of His Precious Time, Or Of Mine, To Concern Ourselves With The Details Of Particular Solutions. This Was How The Philosophy Of Reductionism Led Oppenheimer And Einstein Astray. Since The Only Purpose Of Physics Was To Reduce The World Of Physical Phenomena To A Finite Set Of Fundamental Equations, The Study Of Particular Solutions Such As Black Holes Was An Undesirable Distraction From The General Goal. Like Hilbert, They Were Not Content To Solve Particular Problems One At A Time. They Were Entranced By The Dream Of Solving All The Basic Problems At Once. And As A Result, They Failed In Their Later Years To Solve Any Problems At All.
