More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.
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
Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
Richard P. Feynman
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
A great deal more is known than has been proved.
Richard P. Feynman
Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.
Richard P. Feynman
Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.
Richard P. Feynman
The work I have done has, already, been adequately rewarded and recognized. Imagination reaches out repeatedly trying to achieve some higher level of understanding, until suddenly I find myself momentarily alone before one new corner of nature's pattern of beauty and true majesty revealed. That was my reward.
Richard P. Feynman
We've learned from experience that the truth will out.
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
In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.
Richard P. Feynman
I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.
Richard P. Feynman
If you can't explain something to a first year student, then you haven't really understood .
Richard P. Feynman
We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. 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
You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things... It doesn't frighten me.
Richard P. Feynman
We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation.
Richard P. Feynman
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning.
Richard P. Feynman
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination, in a tight straightjacket.
Richard P. Feynman
