From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Computer science is not as old as physics; it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that… — 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… — 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
What is necessary for 'the very existence of science,' and what the characteristics of nature are, are not to be determined by… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think, however, that there isn't any solution to this problem of education other than to realize that the best teaching can… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . It's the things that nobody… — 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

“If instead of arranging the atoms in some definite pattern, again and again repeated, on and on, or even forming little lumps… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I decided to sell my drawings. However, I didn't want people to buy my drawings because the professor of physics isn't supposed… — 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
When I was a young man, Dirac was my hero. He made a breakthrough, a new method of doing physics. He had… — 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
Often one postulates that a priori, all states are equally probable. This is not true in the world as we see it.… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be "known"… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I am a successful lecturer in physics for popular audiences. The real entertainment gimmick is the excitement, drama and mystery of the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Out of the cradle onto the dry land here it is standing: atoms with consciousness; matter with curiosity. Stands at the sea… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics. — 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
