If there is something very slightly wrong in our definition of the theories, then the full mathematical rigor may convert these errors… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's… — 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
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Another thing I must point out is that you cannot prove a vague theory wrong. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons; they are both screwy, but in… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
There was a time when the newspapers said that only twelve men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe there… — 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
“No phenomenon directly involving a frequency has yet been detected above approximately 10^12 cycles per second. We only deduce the higher frequencies… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When a photon comes down, it interacts with electrons throughout the glass, not just on the surface. The photon and electrons do… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so… — 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
