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
I think equation guessing might be the best method to proceed to obtain the laws for the part of physics which is… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The correct statement of the laws of physics involves some very unfamiliar ideas which require advanced mathematics for their description. Therefore, one… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that… — 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
“Are you looking for the ultimate laws of physics?" No, I'm not. I'm just looking to find out more about the world… — 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

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
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
