Freeman Dyson
Showed that Feynman's and Schwinger's versions of quantum electrodynamics were the same theory, and spent sixty years being productively wrong about other things on purpose.
Freeman John Dyson was a British-American theoretical physicist and mathematician who worked in quantum field theory, astrophysics, random matrices, mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and engineering. He was professor emeritus in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a member of the board of sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
