PHYSICIST DYSON FREEMAN’S THOUGHTS ON OUR UNCONSCIOUS MINDS AND THE CREATIVE BREAKTHROUGHS THAT THEY DO GENERATE FOR THE HUMAN RACE

When we talk about being creative and innovative we mostly will be thinking about working day and night on our projects until we get there.

 According to one author who wrote Frankenstein called Mary Shelley, Invention does not consist of creating something out of void but creating something out of chaos. 

The most valuable inventions were created because of the presence of chaos. 

This is the chaos of existing inspirations that are properly comprehended and reconfigured into something that is actually new. 

Scientist Albert Einstein termed this as a combinatory play reordering. This process is usually unconscious and the product of this chaos gives us originality. 

While pursuing his doctorate, Dyson met with Richard Feynman who was working on formulation of quantum electrodynamics   that were based on his famous diagrams and  his method was actually different from the one of Julian Schwinger.

 The experiments were explained in two different ways.

 Feynman was using little pictures to explain his concept while Schwinger was writing down some complicated equations. 

During a cross country trip with Feynman, Dyson discussed some principles in physics with this great scientist and some of the theories involved in physics.

 This opened his mind to new ways of thinking that gave birth one of the most interesting theory papers ever written by Dyson.

 While reflecting on  the striking feat and the flash of illumination that he came across, Dyson said  it is strange the way ideas come  when they are needed and he concluded by saying that it was the same for the idea that he generated for his  Trinity Fellowship  thesis.

 Dyson concluded by describing his feat in theory by saying that to arrive at the Frontiers of physics it is just like someone who is breaking through a crust and then one discovers plenty of room where you can move in a lot of directions.
