Famous Richard Feynman Quotes
“If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.” ~ Richard P. FeynmanYou can always recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity.Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.We never are definitely right, we can only be sure we are wrong.Don’t pay attention to “authorities,” think for yourself.Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.If you can’t explain something to a first year student, then you haven’t really understood .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 wrong.Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.
