PRINCETON, N.J. - Freeman Dyson, 91, the famed physicist, author and oracle of human destiny, is holding forth after tea-time one February afternoon in the common room of the Institute for Advanced Study. "Let me tell you the story of how I discovered Turing, which was in 1941," he says. "I was just browsing in the library in Cambridge. I hit that 1936 paper. I never heard of this guy Turing, but I saw that paper and immediately I said this is something absolutely great. Computable numbers, that was something that was obviously great." Pause. Then, with a laugh: "But it never occurred to me that it would have any practical importance."
