More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know.
Richard P. Feynman
Everything is made of atoms.
Richard P. Feynman
We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.
Richard P. Feynman
We decided that 'trivial' means 'proved'. So we joked with the mathematicians: We have a new theorem- that mathematicians can prove only trivial theorems, because every theorem that's proved is trivial.
Richard P. Feynman
I find that teaching and the students keep life going, and I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never.
Richard P. Feynman
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory.
Richard P. Feynman
You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.
Richard P. Feynman
People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!
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
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd.
Richard P. Feynman
All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't.
Richard P. Feynman
Light is something like raindrops each little lump of light is called a photon and if the light is all one color, all the raindrops are the same.
Richard P. Feynman
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation.
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
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. It's like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning.
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
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!
Richard P. Feynman
I have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end.
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.
