I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
One does not, by knowing all the physical laws as we know them today, immediately obtain an understanding of anything much. I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
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
It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is
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
We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.
Richard P. Feynman
Victory usually goes to those green enough to underestimate the monumental hurdles they are facing.
Richard P. Feynman
No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
Richard P. Feynman
It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.
Richard P. Feynman
To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.
Richard P. Feynman
When the problem [quantum chromodynamics] is finally solved, it will all be by imagination. Then there will be some big thing about the great way it was done. But it's simple -it will all be by imagination, and persistence.
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
You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity. When you get it right, it is obvious that it is right -- at least if you have any experience -- because usually what happens is that more comes out than goes in.
Richard P. Feynman
It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.
Richard P. Feynman
The same equations have the same solutions
Richard P. Feynman
Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
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
I'm trying to find out NOT how Nature could be, but how Nature IS.
Richard P. Feynman
I couldn't claim that I was smarter than sixty-five other guys--but the average of sixty-five other guys, certainly!
Richard P. Feynman
Only realistic flight schedules should be proposed, schedules that have a reasonable chance of being met. If in this way the government would not support them, then so be it. NASA owes it to the citizens from whom it asks support to be frank, honest, and informative.
Richard P. Feynman
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
Richard P. Feynman
