– Richard P. Feynman (11 May 1918 – 15 Feb 1988)
From the Manhattan Project to the Challenger investigation, the physicist and Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman loved to shoot down what he called “lousy ideas.” Today, the world is awash in lousy ideas — so maybe it’s time to get some more Feynman in our lives?

This is a year of Feynman – week 6 of 52.
The full quote is:
“We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning … People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.”
From the lecture “What is and What Should be the Role of Scientific Culture in Modern Society”, given at the Galileo Symposium in Italy, 1964 – https://web.ma.utexas.edu/users/mks/statmistakes/uncertaintyquotes.html

PS: I love coffee. BuyMeACoffee, leave a message with a date and time and we can share it, remotely, at the same time, and think about the Cosmos.
In the meantime, take care of yourself and if you can, someone else, too, because as Adam Smith said, “we naturally desire not only to be loved but to be lovely”.
Remember, hope lives here.
