So right away I found out something about biology: it was very easy to find a question that was very interesting, and that nobody knew the answer to. In physics you had to go a little deeper before you could find an interesting question that people didn't know.

About Richard Feynman

Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist. He is known for the work he did in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.

"شانه های بلند

"جایزه نوبل به من هیچ ربطی نداره. اعصابم رو به هم می ریزه. از مدال خوشم نمیاد. به خاطر کاری که انجام دادم، به خاطر مردمی که کارم را می فهمن افتخار می کنم و می دونم هم که تعداد زیادی فیزیک دان وجود داره که از کار من استفاده می کنن. همین برای من کافیه. واقعا فایده ی اینکه یک نفری تو آکادمی سوئد بگیره بشینه تصمیم بگیره که کار یه نفر دیگه به اندازه کافی ارزشمنده که جایزه بگیره رو نمی فهمم. من قبلا جایزه ام را گرفته ام. جایزه همون لذت پیدا کردن چیز میزه، حالی که کشف یه چیزی به آدم می ده، مشاهده ای که بقیه مردم بتونن ازش استفاده کنن. این چیزا واقعیه، مدال برای من مصنوعی و غیر واقعیه. من به مدال و جایزه اعتقادی ندارم، اذیتم می کنه، مدال اذیتم می کنه، مدال و جایزه سرشونه اس، یونیفورمه، بابام منو اینجوری بار آورده نمی تونم تحمل کنم، این چیزا ناراحتم می کنه." - ریچارد فاین‌من، فیزیکدان برنده ی جایزه نوبل"

Is science of any value? I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad ting depends on how it is used, but the power is a value.

Mathematics is not a science from our point of view, in the sense that it is not a natural science. The test of its validity is not experiment. We must, incidentally, make it clear from the beginning that if a thing is not a science, it is not necessarily bad. For example, love is not a science. So, if something is said not to be a science, it does not mean that there is something wrong with it; it just means that it is not a science.
