If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So… — 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
