Dyson's eternal intelligence

Dyson's eternal intelligence

Dyson's eternal intelligence (or The Dyson Scenario) is a concept that states an intelligent being would be able to think an infinite number of thoughts in an open universe. As the universe cooled, the thoughts would be slower and slower, but there would still be an infinite number of them. The idea was published in a scientific paper [F.J.Dyson, “Time Without End: Physics and Biology in an Open Universe”, Rev. Mod. Phys., 51, 447--460 (1979)] by Freeman Dyson.
