Richard P. Feynman Quotes About Computers

Quotes about: Computers

• There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them!

  Richard P. Feynman

  Play, Disease, Serious

  Richard P. Feynman (2015). “The Quotable Feynman”, p.241, Princeton University Press

• The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!

  Richard P. Feynman

  Learning, Technology, Mad

• It's amazing how many people even today use a computer to do something you can do with a pencil and paper in less time.

  Richard P. Feynman

  People, Simplicity, Use

• Computer science is not as old as physics; it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist's plate than on the physicist's: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!

  Richard P. Feynman

  Couple, Mean, Years

• It is going to be necessary that everything that happens in a finite volume of space and time would have to be analyzable with a finite number of logical operations. The present theory of physics is not that way, apparently. It allows space to go down into infinitesimal distances, wavelengths to get infinitely great, terms to be summed in infinite order, and so forth; and therefore, if this proposition [that physics is computer-simulatable] is right, physical law is wrong.

  Richard P. Feynman

  Distance, Science, Finite Number

• If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions - for the fun of it - then one day you'll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one! And that's the way to become a computer scientist.

  Richard P. Feynman

  Fun, One Day, Done
