I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
When a Caltech student asked the eminent cosmologist Michael Turner what his "bias" was in favoring one or another particle as a likely candidate to compromise dark matter in the universe, Feynmann snapped, "Why do you want to know his bias? Form your own bias!"
If we want to solve a problem that we have never solved before, we must leave the door to the unknown ajar
Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.
You see, I get so much fun out of thinking that I don’t want to destroy this pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.
Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy.
Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best.
What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them?
For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.
If you know that you are not sure, you have a chance to improve the situation. I want to demand this freedom for future generations.
