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.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. It's like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning.
Richard P. Feynman
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman
The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't believe I can really do without teaching.
Richard P. Feynman
Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science - for to fill your heart with love is enough!
Richard P. Feynman
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Richard P. Feynman
A great deal more is known than has been proved.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
Our poets do not write about it our artists do not try to portray this remarkable thing. I don't know why. Is nobody inspired by our present picture of the universe? The value of science remains unsung by singers... This is not yet a scientific age.
Richard P. Feynman
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
Science is a process for learning about nature in which competing ideas about how the world works are measured against observations.
Richard P. Feynman
People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!
Richard P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule.
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 have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end.
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
[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
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
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
