I just learned Freeman Dyson, among SF-fans perhaps best known as the inventor of the concept of the dyson swarm and dyson sphere, and among scientists for so many significant contributions it's difficult to come up with a comprehensive list, has passed two days ago, on the 28th, aged 96.
Apparently, he died at work, in his office at the institute for advanced studies.

I have his book "imagined worlds" in my bookshelf, possibly the most passionate plea that science and religion must work together to truly better humankind that was ever written.
