I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Is science of any value? 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.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way - by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I don't believe in honors - it bothers me. Honors bother: honors is epaulettes; honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
You're unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
It is necessary to look at the results of observation objectively, because you, the experimenter, might like one result better than another.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Until I began to learn to draw, I was never much interested in looking at art.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions - for the fun of it - then one day you'll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Europeans are much more serious than we are in America because they think that a good place to discuss intellectual matters is a beer party.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
First figure out why you want the students to learn the subject and what you want them to know, and the method will result more or less by common sense.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
With the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Perhaps one day we will have machines that can cope with approximate task descriptions, but in the meantime, we have to be very prissy about how we tell computers to do things.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I decided to sell my drawings. However, I didn't want people to buy my drawings because the professor of physics isn't supposed to be able to draw - isn't that wonderful - so I made up a false name.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Quote by -Richard Feynman
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I got a fancy reputation. During high school, every puzzle that was known to man must have come to me. Every damn, crazy conundrum that people had invented, I knew.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Because the theory of quantum mechanics could explain all of chemistry and the various properties of substances, it was a tremendous success. But still there was the problem of the interaction of light and matter.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I thought one should have the attitude of 'What do you care what other people think!'
Quote by -Richard Feynman
People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way - in such a way that often nobody believes me!
Quote by -Richard Feynman
It has not yet become obvious to me that there's no real problem. I cannot define the real problem; therefore, I suspect there's no real problem, but I'm not sure there's no real problem.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
There is always another way to say the same thing that doesn't look at all like the way you said it before. I don't know what the reason for this is. I think it is somehow a representation of the simplicity of nature.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
In talking about the impact of ideas in one field on ideas in another field, one is always apt to make a fool of oneself.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience, it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears peculiar and mysterious to everyone - both to the novice and to the experienced physicist.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
The extreme weakness of quantum gravitational effects now poses some philosophical problems; maybe nature is trying to tell us something new here: maybe we should not try to quantize gravity.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I got a signed document from Bullock's saying that they had such-and-such drawings on consignment. Of course, nobody bought any of them, but otherwise, I was a big success: I had my drawings on sale at Bullock's!
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I've always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
I wanted very much to learn to draw, for a reason that I kept to myself: I wanted to convey an emotion I have about the beauty of the world.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Before I was born, my father told my mother, 'If it's a boy, he's going to be a scientist.'
Quote by -Richard Feynman
In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a 'should' involved, and this cannot be worked out from, 'If I do this, what will happen?' alone.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Often one postulates that a priori, all states are equally probable. This is not true in the world as we see it. This world is not correctly described by the physics which assumes this postulate.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
We're always, by the way, in fundamental physics, always trying to investigate those things in which we don't understand the conclusions. After we've checked them enough, we're okay.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn't any wind, I would try to fit the miracle into the real world and explain it in terms of natural phenomena.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
Quarks came in a number of varieties - in fact, at first, only three were needed to explain all the hundreds of particles and the different kinds of quarks - they are called u-type, d-type, s-type.
Quote by -Richard Feynman
The first amazing fact about gravitation is that the ratio of inertial mass to gravitational mass is constant wherever we have checked it. The second amazing thing about gravitation is how weak it is.
