Maybe that is why young people make success. They don't know enough. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Because the theory of quantum mechanics could explain all of chemistry and the various properties of substances, it was a tremendous success.… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. Upon identifying the reason for the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The work I have done has, already, been adequately rewarded and recognized. Imagination reaches out repeatedly trying to achieve some higher level… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The only way to have real success in science, the field I'm familiar with, is to describe the evidence very carefully without… — 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
“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
