More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.
Richard P. Feynman
This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire. It becomes a habit of thought. Once acquired, we cannot retreat from it anymore.
Richard P. Feynman
I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.
Richard P. Feynman
Since then I never pay attention to anything by experts. I calculate everything myself.
Richard P. Feynman
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
Richard P. Feynman
It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you there are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong. Period.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
Richard P. Feynman
I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics.
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
There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons they are both screwy, but in exactly in the same way.
Richard P. Feynman
I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value.
Richard P. Feynman
Einstein was a giant. His head was in the clouds, but his feet were on the ground. But those of us who are not that tall have to choose!
Richard P. Feynman
People may come along and argue philosophically that they like one better than another but we have learned from much experience that all philosophical intuitions about what nature is going to do fail.
Richard P. Feynman
You see, I get such fun out of thinking that I don't want to destroy this most pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm trying to find out NOT how Nature could be, but how Nature IS.
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
Everything is made of atoms.
Richard P. Feynman
What Do You Care What Other People Think?
Richard P. Feynman
No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
Richard P. Feynman
