Feynman Lectures

Famous quotes containing the words feynman and/or lectures:

    If that’s the world’s smartest man, God help us.
    —Lucille Feynman, mother of American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

    A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.
    Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
