[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

"You gotta stop and think about it to really get the pleasure about the complexity, the inconceivable nature of nature."

- Richard Feynman

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

Although we humans cut nature up in different ways, and

We have different courses in different departments, such compartmentalization is really artificial, and

We should take our intellectual pleasures where we find them.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

"I think with science, one of the things that makes it very difficult is that

It takes a lot of imagination."

- Richard Feynman

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

So while I was a professor, I could act very much like a student, even a freshman.

I could be mistaken for a freshman in a perfectly legitimate way.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

So I moved around a little bit at the beginning, and ended up with the physics.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

The physical world was real, and the mathematics,

I had become enthralled with, but not for itself, really — you know what I mean?

It was fascinating, but my real heart was somewhere else.

So I decided, I have to get my hands dirty,

I can’t stand these abstract things.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

So I changed to electrical engineering, because there was something that was real.

But then some few months later,

I realized I’d gone too far, and that somewhere in between — that physics was the right place.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly,

Not in terms of your naïve ideals of your own youth,

Nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher’s ideals are.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

Richard Feynman on future of scientific discovery

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

@george__mack "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool."

- Richard Feynman

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

How a scientist can want a mystic answer, I don’t know.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

If you expect science to give you all the answers to the wonderful questions about

what we are, where we are going, and what the meaning of the universe is,then

I think you could easily become disillusioned and look for a mystic answer to these problems.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

@PhysInHistory “It is probably better to realize that the probability concept is in a sense subjective, that

It is always based on uncertain knowledge, and that

Its quantitative evaluation is subject to change as we obtain more information.”

- Richard Feynman

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

I never pay attention to anything by "experts".

I calculate everything myself.

[Richard Feynman @RobotFeynman]

@PhysInHistory “Scientific progress to discovering new things often results by noticing small deviations from the predictions of old theories,

This cannot be done unless the predictions are very precise and detailed.”

- Richard Feynman
