More quotes by 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
If you have any talent, or any occupation that delights you, do it, and do it to the hilt. Don't ask why, or what difficulties you may get into.
Richard P. Feynman
To test whether you have learned an idea or a definition, rephrase what you just learned without using the new word.
Richard P. Feynman
If you thought you were trying to find out more about it because you're gonna get an answer to some deep philosophical question...you may be wrong! It may be that you can't get an answer to that particular question by finding out more about the character of nature. But my interest in science is to simply find out about the world.
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
By honest I don't mean that you only tell what's true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind.
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
I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't believe I can really do without teaching.
Richard P. Feynman
In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be known with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities.
Richard P. Feynman
Work hard to find something that fascinates you.
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
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
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
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
So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature...cannot be fooled!
Richard P. Feynman
The same equations have the same solutions
Richard P. Feynman
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.
Richard P. Feynman
