The extreme weakness of quantum gravitational effects now poses some philosophical problems; maybe nature is trying to tell us something new here: maybe we should not try to quantize gravity. Richard P. Feynman effectextremegravitational Change image and share on social
People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way - in such a way that often nobody believes me! Richard P. Feynman believefakerhonest Change image and share on social
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

You're unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things. Richard P. Feynman discoverfunfunny Change image and share on social
I decided to sell my drawings. However, I didn't want people to buy my drawings because the professor of physics isn't supposed to be able to draw - isn't that wonderful - so I made up a false name. Richard P. Feynman buydecidedraw Change image and share on social
Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience, it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears peculiar and mysterious to everyone - both to the novice and to the experienced physicist. Richard P. Feynman appearatomicbehavior Change image and share on social
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 actionalamosbomb share on social
