I do not believe that science can disprove the existence of God; I think that is impossible. And if it is impossible, is not a belief in science and in a God — an ordinary God of religion — a consistent possibility? Yes, it is consistent.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

Each piece, or part, of the whole of nature is always merely an approximation to the complete truth, or the complete truth so far as we know it. In fact, everything we know is only some kind of approximation because we know that we do not know all the laws as yet.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,' — which is just another way of saying that you can't.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

I'm smart enough to know that I'm dumb.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

What one fool can understand, another can.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

I was terrible in English. I couldn't stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention - it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be".
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

This includes magic tricks, optical illusions and deception in general.

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

Nobody understands quantum theory.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

He was including himself.

Richard Feynman was one of the top physics personalities of his time, after Albert Einstein and before Steven Hawking.

Shortly after electrons were discovered it was thought that atoms were like little solar systems, made up of a … nucleus and electrons, which went around in “orbits,” much like the planets … around the sun. If you think that’s the way atoms are, then you’re back in 1910. (From his book on QED).
The orbit model is a nice way to think of and work with atoms, as long as one does not take the model literally.

Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical.
Richard Feynman (American theoretical physicist)

And this is one of the main interests in quantum computing - simulating natural processes.

The famous physicist Richard Feynman, the most famous physicist between the times of Albert Einstein and Steven Hawking, often stated that quantum mechanics is unquestionably correct in that accurate numbers to great precision can be computed from the theory.

On the other hand, according to Feynman, no one understands why quantum mechanics works or how it works inside, but we have a model that can be used to get useful results from the model.

A model such as quantum mechanics can explain what it does but no one is sure how it works, let alone why it works.
