More quotes by 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
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
Richard P. Feynman
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning.
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
No one really understands quantum mechanics.
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
But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm trying to find out NOT how Nature could be, but how Nature IS.
Richard P. Feynman
It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.
Richard P. Feynman
In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.
Richard P. Feynman
The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability
Richard P. Feynman
Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.
Richard P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule.
Richard P. Feynman
Victory usually goes to those green enough to underestimate the monumental hurdles they are facing.
Richard P. Feynman
I have a limited intelligence and I've used it in a particular direction.
Richard P. Feynman
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that's the end of you.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't believe I can really do without teaching.
Richard P. Feynman
It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you there are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong. Period.
Richard P. Feynman
Every instrument that has been designed to be sensitive enough to detect weak light has always ended up discovering that the same thing: light is made of particles.
Richard P. Feynman
