Freeman Dyson, born December 15, 1923 in Crowthorne in Berkshire England has died February 28, 2020 at the age of 96. He's best known for his theory of Kardashev type 2 and greater alien civilizations utilizing giant arrays dubbed "Dyson Spheres" in order to harvest large amounts of energy from their host sun or other stars within the universe. While no conclusive evidence is currently in the public space that these massive structures built around stars exist their have been reports of far off stars displaying patterns that would suggest they may have massive Dyson Sphere arrays around them in order to harvest their energy.

While the Dyson Sphere theory is his most known hypothesis he managed to put forward many incredible ideas over his lifetime. A lot of what he speculated and though on involved space colonization as well as alien civilizations. Other notable theories brought forward by Mr Dyson included forays into Quantum physics as well as various thoughts into colonization of outer space and the troubles and tribulations that would come with such a feat. The world lost an incredible mind today, He will be sorely missed.
