I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
One cannot understand... the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
From a long view of the history of mankind the most significant event of the nineteenth century will be judged as Maxwell's… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
One does not, by knowing all the physical laws as we know them today, immediately obtain an understanding of anything much. I… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
There are theoretical physicists who imagine, deduce, and guess at new laws, but do not experiment; and then there are experimental physicists… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Everything we know is only some kind of approximation, because we know that we do not know all the laws yet. Therefore,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
We are very lucky to be living in an age in which we are still making discoveries. It is like the discovery… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Any schemes - such as 'think of symmetry laws', or 'put the information in mathematical form', or 'guess equations'- are known to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
From a long view of the history of mankind, seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
One of the ways of stopping science would be only to do experiments in the region where you know the law. But… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
'Conservation' (the conservation law) means this ... that there is a number, which you can calculate, at one moment-and as nature undergoes… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It is going to be necessary that everything that happens in a finite volume of space and time would have to be… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
To do any important work in physics a very good mathematical ability and aptitude are required. Some work in applications can be… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The principle of science, the definition, almost, is the following: The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
... it is impossible to explain honestly the beauties of the laws of nature in a way that people can feel, without… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Philosophers have said before that one of the fundamental requisites of science is that whenever you set up the same conditions, the same thing… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
My rule is, when you are unhappy, think about it. But when you're happy, don't. Why spoil it? You're probably happy for some ridiculous… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It is necessary for the very existence of science that minds exist which do not allow that nature must satisfy some preconceived conditions. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“There was a Princess Somebody of Denmark sitting at a table with a number of people around her, and I saw an empty chair… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
One cannot understand... the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
