More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter.
Richard P. Feynman
Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very deep and strong struggle: permit us to question - to doubt - to not be sure. I think that it is important that we do not forget this struggle and thus perhaps lose what we have gained.
Richard P. Feynman
Start out understanding religion by saying everything is possibly wrong... As soon as you do that, you start sliding down an edge which is hard to recover from.
Richard P. Feynman
Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.
Richard P. Feynman
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before.
Richard P. Feynman
The unanswerable mysteries... the attitude that all is uncertain... to summarize it - the humility of the intellect.
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 present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.
Richard P. Feynman
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
Richard P. Feynman
I have to keep going to find out ultimately what is the matter with it in the end.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in - a trial and error system.
Richard P. Feynman
The only way to have real success in science, the field I'm familiar with, is to describe the evidence very carefully without regard to the way you feel it should be. If you have a theory , you must try to explain what's good and what's bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty .
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
It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is
Richard P. Feynman
But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
Richard P. Feynman
I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind however, I decided not to. I didn't want to chance ruining the machine.
Richard P. Feynman
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.
Richard P. Feynman
