Weekend Video: Freeman Dyson on Life Out There

2008 July 19

I saw this talk earlier this week and found it so enjoyable, that I could hardly wait to share it. From the 2003 TED Conference, Freeman Dyson makes the case that we should be take the trouble to look for life in the outer solar system. He speculates about the possibility that life might exist in the outer reaches of the solar system, and then offers his thoughts on how we might hunt for life out there.

An amazing mind, and wonderful good humor, captured in 20 short minutes.

Many of these moments from the annual TED Conference are unforgettable. TED generously shares them free online, which is a considerable discount from the $6,000 fee to attend the conference. There are audio, video and HD video podcasts, too.
