Since then I never pay attention to anything by "experts". I calculate everything myself.
So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible.
The scale of light can be described by numbers called the frequency and as the numbers get higher, the light goes from red to blue to ultraviolet. We can't see ultraviolet light, but it can affect photographic plates. It's still light only the number is different.
Light is something like raindrops each little lump of light is called a photon and if the light is all one color, all the "raindrops" are the same.
Start out understanding religion by saying everything is possibly wrong... As soon as you do that, you start sliding down an edge which is hard to recover from.
All we know so far is what doesn't work.
You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself — it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naïve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are.
[B]eyond poverty, beyond the point that the material needs are reasonably satisfied, only from within is peace.
Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it.
Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.
You can’t say A is made of B or vice versa. All mass is interaction.
Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.
It is the fact that the electrons cannot all get on top of each other that makes tables and everything else solid.
If the professors of English will complain to me that the students who come to the universities, after all those years of study, still cannot spell 'friend,' I say to them that something's the matter with the way you spell friend.
I don't like honors. I'm appreciated for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I notice that other physicists use my work. I don't need anything else. I don't think there's any sense to anything else.... I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it. Those are the real things. The honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors... I can't stand it, it hurts me.
I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics.
Nature's imagination far surpasses our own.
I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.
[When a young person loses faith in his religion because he begins to study science and its methodology] it isn't that [through the obtaining of real knowledge that] he knows it all, but he suddenly realizes that he doesn't know it all.
I always do that, get into something and see how far I can go.
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty darn sure of what the result is going to be, he is in some doubt.
The Quantum Universe has a quotation from me in every chapter - but it's a damn good book anyway.
All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.
But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
