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!

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Computer science is not as old as physics it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist's plate than on the physicist's: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!
Richard P. Feynman
I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.
Richard P. Feynman
Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this.
Richard P. Feynman
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out.
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
Einstein was a giant. His head was in the clouds, but his feet were on the ground. But those of us who are not that tall have to choose!
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
Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it.
Richard P. Feynman
It is impossible, by the way, when picking one example of anything, to avoid picking one which is atypical in some sense.
Richard P. Feynman
I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.
Richard P. Feynman
If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.
Richard P. Feynman
No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
Richard P. Feynman
All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.
Richard P. Feynman
We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.
Richard P. Feynman
It is the fact that the electrons cannot all get on top of each other that makes tables and everything else solid.
Richard P. Feynman
There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them!
Richard P. Feynman
Have no respect whatsoever for authority forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, Is it reasonable?
Richard P. Feynman
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation.
Richard P. Feynman
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
