Richard P. Feynman Quotes


An American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics.
Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics (he proposed the parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. He developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.

Here are some famous quotes by  Richard P. Feynman.

All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it.

[MysteRy]

Physics is like sex: sure it may give some practical results but that's not why we do it.

[MysteRy]

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool.

[MysteRy]

For a successful technology reality must take precedence over public relations for Nature cannot be fooled.

[MysteRy]

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

[MysteRy]

To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty the deepest beauty of nature. If you want to learn about nature to appreciate nature it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.

[MysteRy]

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.
