More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
(Joan,1941) She wrote me a letter asking,How can I read it?,Its so hard. I told her to start at the beginning and read as far as you can get until you're lost. Then start again at the beginning and keep working through until you can understand the whole book. And thats what she did
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
Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.
Richard P. Feynman
This is the key of modern science and is the beginning of the true understanding of nature. This idea. That to look at the things, to record the details, and to hope that in the information thus obtained, may lie a clue to one or another of a possible theoretical interpretation.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
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
If all of this, all the life of a stream of water, can be nothing but a pile of atoms, how much more is possible?
Richard P. Feynman
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
Richard P. Feynman
Everything is made of atoms.
Richard P. Feynman
Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.
Richard P. Feynman
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning.
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
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
Outside of their particular area of expertise scientists are just as dumb as the next person.
Richard P. Feynman
You see, I get such fun out of thinking that I don't want to destroy this most pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.
Richard P. Feynman
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
Richard P. Feynman
Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?
Richard P. Feynman
I do believe that there is a conflict between science and religion ... the spirit or attitude toward the facts is different in religion from what it is in science. The uncertainty that is necessary in order to appreciate nature is not easily correlated with the feeling of certainty in faith.
Richard P. Feynman
I think Nature's imagination is so much greater than man's, she's never gonna let us relax!
Richard P. Feynman
