Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Teaching

What did you ASK at school today? — Richard P. Feynman

The drawing teacher has this problem of communicating how to draw by osmosis and not by instruction, while the physics teacher has the problem of always teaching techniques, rather than the spirit, of how to go about solving physical problems. — Richard P. Feynman

The reason is, I have to have something so that when I don't have any ideas and I'm not getting anywhere, I can say to myself, "At least I'm living; at least I'm doing something. I'm making some contribution." It's just psychological. — Richard P. Feynman

Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Knowledge

Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty -- some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain. — Richard P. Feynman

The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific truth. — Richard P. Feynman

Scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or bad — but it does not carry instructions on how to use it. — Richard P. Feynman

[When a young person loses faith in his religion because he begins to study science and its methodology] it isn't that [through the obtaining of real knowledge that] he knows it all, but he suddenly realizes that he doesn't know it all. — Richard P. Feynman

There are all kinds of interesting questions that come from a knowledge of science, which only adds to the excitement and mystery and awe of a flower. — Richard P. Feynman

In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be "known" with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities. — Richard P. Feynman

The test of all knowledge is experiment. — Richard P. Feynman

I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding, they learn by some other way — by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile! — Richard P. Feynman

I have a limited intelligence and I've used it in a particular direction. — Richard P. Feynman

Listen, I mean that from my knowledge of the world that I see around me, I think that it is much more likely that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence. — Richard P. Feynman

If science is to progress, what we need is the ability to experiment, honesty in reporting results—the results must be reported without somebody saying what they would like the results to have been—and finally—an important thing—the intelligence to interpret the results. — Richard P. Feynman

Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Physics

It is the facts that matter, not the proofs. Physics can progress without the proofs, but we can't go on without the facts ... if the facts are right, then the proofs are a matter of playing around with the algebra correctly. — Richard P. Feynman

So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible. — Richard P. Feynman

Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics. — Richard P. Feynman

For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy. — Richard P. Feynman

Feynman

All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it. — Richard P. Feynman

It's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics. It's the things that nobody knows anything about we can discuss. — Richard P. Feynman

Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Fact

The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman

Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet. — Richard P. Feynman

The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science. — Richard P. Feynman

Quarks came in a number of varieties - in fact, at first, only three were needed to explain all the hundreds of particles and the different kinds of quarks - they are called u-type, d-type, s-type. — Richard P. Feynman

It is the fact that the electrons cannot all get on top of each other that makes tables and everything else solid. — Richard P. Feynman

Today, all physicists know from studying Einstein and Bohr that sometimes an idea which looks completely paradoxical at first, if analyzed to completion in all detail and in experimental situations, may, in fact, not be paradoxical. — Richard P. Feynman

The first amazing fact about gravitation is that the ratio of inertial mass to gravitational mass is constant wherever we have checked it. The second amazing thing about gravitation is how weak it is. — Richard P. Feynman

The whole question of imagination in science is often misunderstood by people in other disciplines. ... They overlook the fact that whatever we are allowed to imagine in science must be consistent with everything else we know. — Richard P. Feynman

I do believe that there is a conflict between science and religion ... the spirit or attitude toward the facts is different in religion from what it is in science. The uncertainty that is necessary in order to appreciate nature is not easily correlated with the feeling of certainty in faith. — Richard P. Feynman

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent. — Richard P. Feynman

Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Nature

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry. — Richard P. Feynman

[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd. — Richard P. Feynman

Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy. — Richard P. Feynman

... it is impossible to explain honestly the beauties of the laws of nature in a way that people can feel, without their having some deep understanding of mathematics. I am sorry, but this seems to be the case. — Richard P. Feynman

That is the logical tight-rope on which we have to walk if we wish to interpret nature. — Richard P. Feynman

See that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. — Richard P. Feynman

There is always another way to say the same thing that doesn't look at all like the way you said it before. I don't know what the reason for this is. I think it is somehow a representation of the simplicity of nature. — Richard P. Feynman

Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it. — Richard P. Feynman

Science is a process for learning about nature in which competing ideas about how the world works are measured against observations. — Richard P. Feynman

When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn't any wind, I would try to fit the miracle into the real world and explain it in terms of natural phenomena. — Richard P. Feynman

Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Laws

From a long view of the history of mankind the most significant event of the nineteenth century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. — Richard P. Feynman

There are theoretical physicists who imagine, deduce, and guess at new laws, but do not experiment; and then there are experimental physicists who experiment, imagine, deduce, and guess. — Richard P. Feynman

Working out another system to replace Newton's laws took a long time because phenomena at the atomic level were quite strange. One had to lose one's common sense in order to perceive what was happening at the atomic level. — Richard P. Feynman

I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out. — Richard P. Feynman

Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were. — Richard P. Feynman

It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship. — Richard P. Feynman

Phenomena complex-laws simple....Know what to leave out. — Richard P. Feynman

But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident. — Richard P. Feynman

We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation. — Richard P. Feynman

Everything we know is only some kind of approximation, because we know that we do not know all the laws yet. Therefore, things must be learned only to be unlearned again or, more likely, to be corrected. — Richard P. Feynman

Richard P. Feynman Famous Quotes And Sayings

Ordinary fools are all right; you can talk to them, and try to help them out. But pompous fools-guys who are fools and are covering it all over and impressing people as to how wonderful they are with all this hocus pocus-THAT, I CANNOT STAND! An ordinary fool isn't a faker; an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible! — Richard P. Feynman

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 reason and you'd just spoil it to know it. — Richard P. Feynman

Einstein was a giant. His head was in the clouds, but his feet were on the ground. But those of us who are not that tall have to choose! — Richard P. Feynman

What do I advise? Forget it all. Don't be afraid. Do what you get the most pleasure from. Is it to build a cloud chamber? Then go on doing things like that. Develop your talents wherever they may lead. Damn the torpedoes - full speed ahead!If you have any talent,or any occupation that delights you,do it, and do it to the hilt — Richard P. Feynman

What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school... It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it. You see my physics students don't understand it... That is because I don't understand it. Nobody does. — Richard P. Feynman

We have this terrible struggle to try to explain things to people who have no reason to want to know. — Richard P. Feynman

It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man. — Richard P. Feynman

Light is something like raindrops each little lump of light is called a photon and if the light is all one color, all the "raindrops" are the same. — Richard P. Feynman

Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but that is not the reason we are doing it — Richard P. Feynman

So I have just one wish for you – the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom. — Richard P. Feynman

We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress. — Richard P. Feynman

I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there. — Richard P. Feynman

Winning a Nobel Prize is no big deal, but winning it with an IQ of 124 is really something. — Richard P. Feynman

No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it. — Richard P. Feynman

But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. — Richard P. Feynman

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. — Richard P. Feynman

The real question of government versus private enterprise is argued on too philosophical and abstract a basis. Theoretically, planning may be good. But nobody has ever figured out the cause of government stupidity—and until they do (and find the cure), all ideal plans will fall into quicksand. — Richard P. Feynman

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that. — Richard P. Feynman

There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them! — Richard P. Feynman

Victory usually goes to those green enough to underestimate the monumental hurdles they are facing. — Richard P. Feynman

In any organization there ought to be the possibility of discussion... fence sitting is an art, and it's difficult, and it's important to do, rather than to go headlong in one direction or the other. It's just better to have action, isn't it than to sit on the fence? Not if you're not sure which way to go, it isn't. — Richard P. Feynman

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation. — Richard P. Feynman

You see, the chemists have a complicated way of counting: instead of saying "one, two, three, four, five protons", they say, "hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron." — Richard P. Feynman

Doubt is clearly a value in science. It is important to doubt and that the doubt is not a fearful thing, but a thing of great value. — Richard P. Feynman

The exception tests the rule. — Richard P. Feynman

If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before. — Richard P. Feynman

There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons; they are both screwy, but in exactly in the same way. — Richard P. Feynman

We cannot define anything precisely. If we attempt to, we get into the paralysis of thought that comes to philosophers, who sit opposite each other, one saying to the other, "You don't know what you are talking about!" The second one says, "What do you mean by know? What do you mean by talking? What do you mean by you?" — Richard P. Feynman

The female mind is capable of understanding analytic geometry... The difficulty may just be that we have never yet discovered a way to communicate with the female mind. If it is done in the right way, you may be able to get something out of it. — Richard P. Feynman

All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied. — Richard P. Feynman

Why make yourself miserable saying things like, "Why do we have such bad luck? What has God done to us? What have we done to deserve this?" - all of which, if you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your situation is just an accident of life. — Richard P. Feynman

Since then I never pay attention to anything by "experts". I calculate everything myself. — Richard P. Feynman

You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things... It doesn't frighten me. — Richard P. Feynman

I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring. — Richard P. Feynman

We find that the statements of science are not of what is true and what is not true, but statements of what is known with different degrees of certainty: "It is very much more likely that so and so is true than that it is not true". — Richard P. Feynman

Ordinarily it would take me about fifteen minutes to get a hallucination going," wrote Feynman, "but on a few occasions, when I smoked some marijuana beforehand, it came very quickly. — Richard P. Feynman

Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are. — Richard P. Feynman

If there is something very slightly wrong in our definition of the theories, then the full mathematical rigor may convert these errors into ridiculous conclusions. — Richard P. Feynman

Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this. — Richard P. Feynman

Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are there. — Richard P. Feynman

There's plenty of room at the bottom. — Richard P. Feynman

I have argued flying saucers with lots of people. I was interested in possible. They do not appreciate that the problem is not to demonstrate whether it's possible or not but whether it's going on or not. — Richard P. Feynman

When a photon comes down, it interacts with electrons throughout the glass, not just on the surface. The photon and electrons do some kind of dance, the net result of which is the same as if the photon hit only on the surface. — Richard P. Feynman

The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in - a trial and error system. — Richard P. Feynman

When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is in some doubt. — Richard P. Feynman

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy. — Richard P. Feynman

A philosopher once said, 'It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.' Well, they don't! — Richard P. Feynman

If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. — Richard P. Feynman
