===Philosophy=== [[File:Freeman Dyson.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|Freeman Dyson in 2005]] Physicist and philosophy writer [[Freeman Dyson]] has suggested that one can broadly, if over-simplistically, divide "observers of the philosophical scene" into splitters and lumpers β roughly corresponding to [[materialism|materialists]] (who imagine the world as divided into atoms) and [[Platonism|Platonists]] (who regard the world as made up of ideas).<ref>Freeman Dyson, ''Dreams of Earth and Sky'', New York Review Books, 2015, p. 238.</ref>
