More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We scientists are clever — too clever — are you not satisfied? Is four square miles in one bomb not enough? Men are still thinking. Just tell us how big you want it!
Richard P. Feynman
When things are going well, something will go wrong. / When things just can't get any worse, they will. / Anytime things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.
Richard P. Feynman
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.
Richard P. Feynman
All we know so far is what doesn't work.
Richard P. Feynman
Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.
Richard P. Feynman
It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.
Richard P. Feynman
Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science - for to fill your heart with love is enough!
Richard P. Feynman
From a long view of the history of mankind the most significant event of the nineteenth century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics.
Richard P. Feynman
The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability
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
A poet once said, The whole universe is in a glass of wine. We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe.
Richard P. Feynman
The real problem in speech is not precise language. The problem is clear language.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
Richard P. Feynman
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
When I found out that Santa Claus wasn't real, I wasn't upset rather, I was relieved that there was a much simpler phenomenon to explain how so many children all over the world got presents on the same night! The story had been getting pretty complicated -- it was getting out of hand.
Richard P. Feynman
The same equations have the same solutions
Richard P. Feynman
I'm trying to find out NOT how Nature could be, but how Nature IS.
Richard P. Feynman
There are thousands of years in the past, and there is an unknown amount of time in the future. There are all kinds of opportunities, and there are all kinds of dangers.
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
If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.
Richard P. Feynman
