Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 8hMake critical thinking a foundational subject in education. Teach students how to think critically, analyze information, and discern fact from fiction using scientific methods, creating a more discerning and informed society. 0112
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 14hBe humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea. 0141
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Imagine how much harder physics would be if electrons had feelings. 081
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We often overlook the beauty of simplicity. Some of the most profound insights are found in the elegant and uncomplicated. 070
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026When your result looks “too perfect,” that’s when you should worry most. 081
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You keep on learning and learning, and pretty soon you learn something no one has learned before. 082
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There are two rules in life: 1) Never give out all the information. 11910
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026We've learned from experience that the truth will out. Other experimenters will repeat your experiment and find out whether you were wrong or right. Nature's phenomena will agree or they'll disagree with your theory. 060
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You’re not learning if you’re not confused half the time. 0131
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026People are always looking for the secret to the universe. The secret is there is no secret; it's all just a fascinating, complicated mess. 191
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part. 073
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in. -- Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) 090
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The first rule of learning is to admit you don’t know. The second rule is to never stop asking why. 0110
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Those who cannot think for themselves are truly lost. 0101
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It requires a much higher degree of imagination to understand the electromagnetic field than to understand invisible angels. 0111
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability. 071
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s. 1110
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made. 050
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026One of the biggest and most important tools of theoretical physics is the wastebasket. 0111
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If you think you can, you may. If you think you can't, you're right. 0111
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Learning is like peeling an onion— each layer reveals another layer, and occasionally, it makes you cry. 0143
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Simplicity isn't the lack of complexity; it's the clarity of understanding. 060
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The joy of finding things out is the greatest pleasure in science. 090
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If everyone agrees too quickly, somebody forgot to think. 0145
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The best way to test an idea is to try to break it. 162
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026For a successful technology, realitymust take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. 091
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt. 071
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Imagine that the gods are playing some great game and you don't know the rules of the game, but you're allowed to look at the board, at least from time to time. 191
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I’m not responsible for what other people think I am able to do. I don’t have to be good because they think I’m going to be good. 070
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Don’t just look for patterns; look for the reasons why the patterns are broken. 0100
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026On the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics. 171
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I couldn’t see how anyone could be educated by this self-propagating system in which people pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything. 051
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026And therefore when we go to investigate we shouldn't pre-decide what it is we are trying to do except to find out more about it... My interest in science is to simply find out more about the world. 081
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The purpose of education is to inspire the desire for learning in students and make them able to think, understand, and question. 0111
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning. 040
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there. 061
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries. 030
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Life is too short to worry about little things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others. 0172
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 16/09/2026In physics, as in life, the path of least resistance is often the least interesting. 060
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This value of science remains unsung by singers, you are reduced to hearing not a song or poem, but an evening lecture about it. This is not yet a scientific age. 090
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You're under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously. 050
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Being wrong is fine; being comfortably wrong is where trouble begins. 081
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be “known” with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities. 0101
Prof. Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Observation, reason, and experiment make up what we call the scientific method. 061
