  • Physics is partially difficult, but as a whole, it is understandable.

  • Great video. Please upload more. Thanks!

  • fantastic series

    Mr. Susskind

  • Well, I just checked the quantization of the dirac field and the maxwell field in a book. It is quite a complex process, the math looks really ugly.I don't think this lecture can give you more than a vague idea how it works. Nevertheless, very interesting!

  • Finally, the dirac field is turned into an operator composed of creation and annihilation operators..... weird, weird,.... What about quantizing the electro-magnetic fields? Why does the dirac field need to be quantized at all?

  • This is a weird application of classical lagrangians to the dirac equation. Somehow the terms of the equation are reinterpreted. The dirac spinors are interpreted as fields. These reinterpretations are probably the most difficult aspect for understanding.

  • I wonder why he is using the lagrangian formulation of classical mechanics instead of the hamiltonian....

  • @bhigr Yeah, I'm kinda wondering the same thing, i guess we'll just have to transition to the hamiltonian in a higher level course

  • For the last one and a half years I have practically spent my free time watching and studying the series of lectures by Prof. Susskind. Thank you Stanford. I am greatful to you Leonardo.

  • @KKZZII grateful* sorry I just had to say that.
