Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or seven different theoretical representations for exactly the same physics.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
You do not know anything until you have practiced.
Richard P. Feynman
An ordinary fool isn't a faker an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
Richard P. Feynman
You know how it always is, every new idea, it takes a generation or two until it becomes obvious that there's no real problem. It has not yet become obvious to me that there's no real problem. I cannot define the real problem, therefore I suspect there's no real problem, but I'm not sure there's no real problem.
Richard P. Feynman
The unanswerable mysteries... the attitude that all is uncertain... to summarize it - the humility of the intellect.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't believe I can really do without teaching.
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
Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it.
Richard P. Feynman
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation.
Richard P. Feynman
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman
I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.
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
What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them?
Richard P. Feynman
The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to... No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
Richard P. Feynman
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
Richard P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule.
Richard P. Feynman
I have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end.
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
The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.
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
A philosopher once said, 'It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.' Well, they don't!
Richard P. Feynman
