science opportunity progress
If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. Richard P. Feynman
science opportunity thinking
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain … In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar. Richard P. Feynman
science measurement momentum
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory. Richard P. Feynman
science progress theory
Progress in science comes when experiments contradict theory. Richard P. Feynman
science thinking law
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree with the known laws of physics. ... It requires imagination to think of what's possible, and then it requires an analysis back, checking to see whether it fits, whether its allowed, according to what's known, okay? Richard P. Feynman

science progress trying
We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress. Richard P. Feynman
science thinking doubt
Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show. Richard P. Feynman

errors hitting reason
Part of the reason they had errors is because we're hitting it hard. We hit some on the nose. Joe Archuleta
