Richard P. Feynman Quotes

In nature nothing creates itself and nothing destroys itself.

Energy Is Conserved.

Nothing is created or destroyed in nature.

Strict conservation of energy in the elementary process had thus been confirmed also by a negative experiment.

I know that nothing is destructible; things merely change forms.

There is no energy in matter other than that received from the environment

The law of conservation of energy tells us we can't get something for nothing, but we refuse to believe it.

Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting.

It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics?

One of the bedrock principles of physics is the conservation of energy. In this universe, energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Nature abhors a hero. For one thing, he violates the law of conservation of energy. For another, how can it be the survival of the fittest when the fittest keeps putting himself in situations where he is most likely to be creamed?

We're electrical items and when we die the electricity goes somewhere else. When we die our energy goes into the galaxy.

Physics is based on the assumption that certain fundamental features of nature are constant.

At least in part, people are attracted to subjects where they can identify at a basic level with the people who do it. The extraordinary aesthetic of the natural world is not obvious to someone who never leaves the inner city. Appreciation of the elegance and power of physical law is an acquired taste.

The law in question asserts, that the quantity of force which can be brought into action in the whole of Nature is unchangeable, and can neither be increased nor diminished.

Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere.

Symmetries are the playing field on which the physical world works and which determine the rules of the game. The symmetries of nature determine for us things that remain constant, that can't be changed. Those are the guideposts in physics, the quantities like energy and momentum.

I've talked to ghosts once. For me, it makes sense for them to be real because of physics. In physics, you can't destroy energy; it can only be conserved.

There is nothing more certain in nature than that it is impossible for any body to be utterly annihilated.

There is a conservation of matter and of energy, there may be a conservation of life; or if not of life, of something which transcends life.

Energy can't be destroyed, only converted into something different. So when a person dies, where does that energy go?

You cannot take away one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. You cannot add to the universe one atom of matter or one foot-pound of force. As such, evolution does not come out of zero; then, where does it come from? From previous involution.

You are energy, and energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy just changes form. And that means You! The true essence of You, the pure energy of You, has always been and always will be. You can never not be.

Science...has become identified with a philosophy known as materialism or scientific naturalism. This philosophy insists that nature is all there is, or at least the only thing about which we can have any knowledge. It follows that nature had to do its own creating, and that the means of creation must have included any role for God.
