I use Dyson’s calculations for the excited state of Samarium to the 150 level when tuning my lawn mower. It gives it an excellent cutting resolution beyond steady state.
5:59 ‘I find that the experimental tools are just as marvellous as the theory…’ the pincer movement on reality - same in navigation by sextant and almanacs - ‘height calculated - height observed’.😊
Dyson is an amazing storyteller, even when he is talking about dry, technical stuff. His passion is contagious.

The brilliant mind that inspires me always when I hear him talk.
I keep expecting Bradey Haran to ask some pointed question.
Curious till d last breath.
The paper mentioned is by Dabour and Dyson, The Oklo bound on the time variation of the fine structure constant revisited, 1996

Thanks!
Samarium-149 is not so nice when you are trying to start up a reactor at the end of its fuel cycle!
Didn't help him make reliable vacuums, did it?
