It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.
Richard P. Feynman
Have no respect whatsoever for authority forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, Is it reasonable?
Richard P. Feynman
As you know, a theory in physics is not useful unless it is able to predict underlined effects which we would otherwise expect.
Richard P. Feynman
The most important thing I found out from my father is that if you asked any question and pursued it deeply enough, then at the end there was a glorious discovery of a general and beautiful kind.
Richard P. Feynman
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before.
Richard P. Feynman
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
Richard P. Feynman
There’s so much distance between the fundamental rules and the final phenomenon, that it’s almost unbelievable that the final variety of phenomenon can come from such a steady operation of such simple rules.
Richard P. Feynman
We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation.
Richard P. Feynman
Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.
Richard P. Feynman
I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm smart enough to know that I'm dumb.
Richard P. Feynman
The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability
Richard P. Feynman
I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why I wonder.
Richard P. Feynman
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
Richard P. Feynman
All theoretical chemistry is really physics and all theoretical chemists know it.
Richard P. Feynman
Start out understanding religion by saying everything is possibly wrong... As soon as you do that, you start sliding down an edge which is hard to recover from.
Richard P. Feynman
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree with the known laws of physics. ... It requires imagination to think of what's possible, and then it requires an analysis back, checking to see whether it fits, whether its allowed, according to what's known, okay?
Richard P. Feynman
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
Richard P. Feynman
If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.
Richard P. Feynman
