This due is a beast, he knows both the physics and the history of physics, and has the patience to teach it. What a blessing: Section "How to teach and learn physics".

1932 Nobel Prize in Physics for cyclotron.

Ciro Santilli's admiration for Dyson goes beyond his "unify all the things approach", which Ciro loves, but also extends to the way he talks and the things he says. Dyson is one of Ciro's favorite physicist.

Besides this, he was also very idealistic compassionate, and supported a peaceful resolution until World War II with United Kingdom was basically inevitable. Note that this was a strategic mistake.

Dyson is "hawk nosed" as mentioned in Genius: Richard Feynman and Modern Physics by James Gleick (1994) chapter "Dyson". But he wasn't when he was young, see e.g. i2.wp.com/www.brainpickings.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/freemandyson_child-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1064&ssl=1 It sems that his nose just never stopped growing after puberty.

He also has some fun stories, like him practicing night climbing while at Cambridge University, and having walked from Cambridge to London (~86km!) in a day with his wheelchair bound friend.

Ciro Santilli feels that the label child prodigy applies even more so to him than to Feynman and Julian Schwinger.

Bibliography:

This seems like a cool dude. Besides a hardcore scientist, he also made many important contributions to the French education and research system.

This is the one Ciro Santilli envies the most, because he has such a great overlap with Ciro's interests, e.g.:

The way this dude speaks. He exhales incredible intelligence!!!

In the interviews you can see that he pronounces names in all languages amazingly, making acute effort to do so, to the point of being notable. His passion for linguistics is actually mentioned on Genius: Richard Feynman and Modern Physics by James Gleick (1994).

Maybe this obsession is partly due to his name which no English speaking person knows how to pronounce from the writing.

This passion also led in part for his names to some physics terminology he worked on winning out over alternatives by his collaborators, most notably in the case of the naming of the quark.

Participated in the German nuclear weapons program, ouch.

The dude was brutal. Ron Maimon praises that at youtu.be/ObXbKbpkSjQ?t=944 from Video "Ron Maimon interview with Jeff Meverson (2014)".

Figure "xkcd 435: Fields arranged by purity" must again be cited.

As of 2019, the more formal name for particle physics, which is notably missing general relativity to achieve the theory of everything.

cds.cern.ch/record/799984/files/0401010.pdf The Making of the Standard Model by Steven Weinberg mentions three crucial elements that made up the standard model post earlier less generalized quantum electrodynamics understandings

If you have a PDE that models physical phenomena, it is fundamental that:

Unlike for ordinary differential equations which have the Picard–Lindelöf theorem, the existence and uniqueness of solution is not well solved for PDEs.

For example, Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness was one of the Millennium Prize Problems.
