More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The scale of light can be described by numbers called the frequency and as the numbers get higher, the light goes from red to blue to ultraviolet. We can't see ultraviolet light, but it can affect photographic plates. It's still light only the number is different.
Richard P. Feynman
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.
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
A scientist is never certain. ... We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning.
Richard P. Feynman
The same equations have the same solutions
Richard P. Feynman
People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.
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
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
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
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made.
Richard P. Feynman
It requires a much higher degree of imagination to understand the electromagnetic field than to understand invisible angels. ... I speak of the E and B fields and wave my arms and you may imagine that I can see them ... [but] I cannot really make a picture that is even nearly like the true waves.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
Richard P. Feynman
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
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
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!
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
The most important thing I found out from my father is that if you asked any question and pursued it deeply enough, then at the end there was a glorious discovery of a general and beautiful kind.
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
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
