The philosophical question before us is, when we make an observation of our track in the past, does the result of our observation become real in the same sense that the final state would be defined if an outside observer were to make the observation?

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 analyzeatomdirection Change image and share on social
I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way - by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile! Richard P. Feynman fragileknowledgelearn Change image and share on social
The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it. Richard P. Feynman boundarydefinekind Change image and share on social
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. Richard P. Feynman contributiondirectiongive Change image and share on social
Because the theory of quantum mechanics could explain all of chemistry and the various properties of substances, it was a tremendous success. But still there was the problem of the interaction of light and matter. Richard P. Feynman chemistryexplaininteraction share on social
