More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard P. Feynman
Don't worry about anything. Go out and have a good time.
Richard P. Feynman
We find that the statements of science are not of what is true and what is not true, but statements of what is known with different degrees of certainty: It is very much more likely that so and so is true than that it is not true.
Richard P. Feynman
The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.
Richard P. Feynman
Progress in science comes when experiments contradict theory.
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
The unanswerable mysteries... the attitude that all is uncertain... to summarize it - the humility of the intellect.
Richard P. Feynman
Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.
Richard P. Feynman
But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.
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
Victory usually goes to those green enough to underestimate the monumental hurdles they are facing.
Richard P. Feynman
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
All theoretical chemistry is really physics and all theoretical chemists know it.
Richard P. Feynman
You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things... It doesn't frighten me.
Richard P. Feynman
The basis of action on love, the brotherhood of all men, the value of the individual... the humility of the spirit.
Richard P. Feynman
Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very deep and strong struggle: permit us to question - to doubt - to not be sure. I think that it is important that we do not forget this struggle and thus perhaps lose what we have gained.
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
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
Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.
Richard P. Feynman
