The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. Richard P. Feynman

Judge Try Value Judgment Help Others Others Give Direction Idea Leads Particular Another Contribution Just Information Your Help

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more? Richard P. Feynman

Science Atoms Beauty Stars Too Say See More Poets Takes Mere Feel Them Less Desert Away Gas Night

I don't believe in honors - it bothers me. Honors bother: honors is epaulettes; honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way. Richard P. Feynman

Me Believe Honors Papa Way Brought Bother Bothers Up Uniforms

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent. Richard P. Feynman

Algebra Dissimilar Approaches Fact Quantum Equation Quantum Mechanics Equivalent Proved Were Mathematical Mathematically Historical Historical Fact Matrix Began Curious Modern Quite Different Apparently Mechanics Differential Two

I don't want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left. Stephen Hawking

Property Privacy Become Would Write Because Left Autobiography Want Public

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories. Stephen Hawking

Memories Will Difficult Think Run Would Would-Be Network Neural Could Computer Computer Program Re-Created Like Brain Cease Off Very Essentially Turned Require Theoretically Consciousness Program

It's time to commit to finding the answer, to search for life beyond Earth. Mankind has a deep need to explore, to learn, to know. We also happen to be sociable creatures. It is important for us to know if we are alone in the dark. Stephen Hawking

Many people find the universe confusing - it's not. Stephen Hawking

Certainly, in the course of time, the splendid things will separate from the hateful. Werner Heisenberg

Time Will Hateful Splendid Course Separate Certainly Things

It is true that in quantum theory we cannot rely on strict causality. But by repeating the experiments many times, we can finally derive from the observations statistical distributions, and by repeating such series of experiments, we can arrive at objective statements concerning these distributions. Werner Heisenberg

Your connections to all the things around you literally define who you are. Aaron D. O'Connell

You Define Around Literally Your Who Connections Things

For me, consciousness is the most interesting unsolved problem of science, and, in fact, we may never know what it is about a particular arrangement of neurons that gives rise to consciousness. Our consciousness, like the air we breathe or like the passage of time, is central to our existence as intelligent beings. Alan Lightman

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility. Albert Einstein
