If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.

I'm doing physics because I'm curious about how it works - full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, don't worry about whether somebody is going to be able to do an experiment next week, just figure it out.

I have always enjoyed explaining physics. In fact it's more than just enjoyment: I need to explain physics.

Before I came here I was confused about this subject. Having listened to your lecture I am still confused. But on a higher level.

To me, what makes physics physics is that experiment is intimately connected to theory. It's one whole.

No one ever taught me and I can't teach anyone. If you can't explain it, how can you take credit for it?

I do not keep up with the details of particle physics.

I cannot be understood in three minutes.

That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.
