Also the "quantity along the curve" that he is talking about is the Lagrangian, L= T-V.

We have great men today: Susskind, Hawking, Mandelbrot, etc... but NONE of them have that good of hair. Marvelous.

hey..."minimum principle"...isn't that sum over histories? that's so pimp that he didn't even bother to say "oh yeah, by the way, i invented that."

[mojado1982]

@rtarbinar not exactly. Minimum principle was known since a lot before Feynman. Feynman was the first to formulate quantum mechanics according to that principle.

@mojado1982 ahhh, thanks! i knew somebody would be able to help me out!!! :)

[ginogrz]

@rtarbinar He's referring to the principle of least action, if anyone's wondering.

[rtarbinar]

@ginogrz thanks bud ;)

@wolvrine111 Look don't blame people there are only very few people that can understand the physical world even with someone who explains physical concepts fairly well.
