Famous Quotes & Sayings

Greg Taylor

We can do science at every step of the way (during the project's expansion).

Richard P. Feynman

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

Richard P. Feynman

This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.

Richard P. Feynman

The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.

Richard P. Feynman

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

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

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

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

I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, 'But how can it be like that?' ...Nobody knows how it can be like that.

Antoni Gaudi

Form does not necessarily follow function

Robert Collier

The headline of an advertisement accounts for 60% of the pull of that ad. In the same way, the start of a letter makes or breaks the letter, because if the start does not interest your reader, he never gets down to the rest of your letter.

Rob Zombie

As far as directors, I'm a big fan of any kind of Billy Wilder stuff. Anything he does.

Richard P. Feynman

Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it.

Richard Dawkins

The Universe does not owe us meaning.

Richard Dawkins

Of course, we would love to know more about the exact moment of Big Bang, but interposing an outside intelligence does nothing to add to that knowledge, as we still know nothing about the creation of that intelligence.

Richard Dawkins

The argument from improbability, properly deployed, comes close to proving that God does not exist.

Richelle Mead

I've lost someone, too; someone I loved. I know how you feel." - Does it get easier? "Yes. But you'll never be the same again.

Richelle Mead

I know," she said, guessing my thoughts. "I know exactly how you feel." "Does it get easier?" I asked. Unlike Sydney, Olena had an answer. "Yes. But you'll never be the same.

Richard P. Feynman

In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.

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 Dawkins

The only watchmaker is the blind forces of physics.

Vinny Guadagnino

I am fascinated by quantum physics.

Walter Wada

Physics is a terrible, terrible, terrible thing. It takes all of your energy, all of your time and all of your attention.

Michael White

Tomorrow is going to be a big physics day.

Edward Witten

String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century.

Ben Stein

There's no evidence whatsoever that Darwin had anything useful to say or anything to say period about how life began or how the universe began or how gravity began or how physics began or fluid motion or how thermodynamics began. He had nothing to say about that whatsoever.

Talulah Riley

I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.
