Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
Until I began to learn to draw, I was never much interested in looking at art. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
We’re always, by the way, in fundamental physics, always trying to investigate those things in which we don’t understand the conclusions. After we’ve checked them enough, we’re okay. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
The original reason to start the project, which was that the Germans were a danger, started me off on a process of action, which was to try to develop this first system at Princeton and then at Los Alamos, to try to make the bomb work. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
I’ve always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
There were several possible solutions of the difficulty of classical electrodynamics, any one of which might serve as a good starting point to the solution of the difficulties of quantum electrodynamics. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
With the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
Europeans are much more serious than we are in America because they think that a good place to discuss intellectual matters is a beer party. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
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 Read Quote
I got a fancy reputation. During high school, every puzzle that was known to man must have come to me. Every damn, crazy conundrum that people had invented, I knew. Richard P. Feynman Read Quote
