A black and white photo of Freeman Dyson. He has a knowing smirk and is looking at something to the left of the photographer. His hair is shown and dark, his ears are prominent, and his hands rest on his lap with the fingers touching. Dyson is wearing a dark suit with a light shirt and dark tie. He is sitting in front of a white brick wall.

Physicist Freeman Dyson was born #OTD in 1923.
He was known for his work in quantum electrodynamics and – among many other things – his eschatological musings about physics and the prospects for life in the far-flung future.
To the best of my knowledge, Dyson was the most prominent physicist of the modern era who never completed a PhD.
