George Dyson on Princeton’s Christopher Robin - Oswald Veblen and the Six-Hundred-Acre Woods

Oswald Veblen’s role in assisting physicists from Germany and Europe escape Nazi Germany

Relevant passage begins at 35:33

Note from Jeff: The beginning of this presentation is the most wonderful introduction that I have ever seen.  Renowned physicist Freeman Dyson introduces his son, George.  Heartwarming.

Art imitates life.  Like Thorstein Veblen, Freeman Dyson is in pop culture.  Captain Picard speaks of Freeman Dyson and his Dyson sphere hypotheses at the beginning of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6, Episode 4, “Relics.”
