Richard P. 'Dick' Feynman
[1918-1988]
 | short profile |
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,
for Nature cannot be fooled."
"I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there."
"If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize."
"I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." (in 1965)
"Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts."
— Richard P. Feynman
