At last I see a face to associate with your intelligent, knowledgeable comments and occasional corrections!
Stückelberg sounds like a candidate for suicide (a la Boltzmann). I'd love to know how he dealt with such cosmic unfairness and INSANE bad luck.
I must confess renormalisation is where my brain says, "No further". I know (I think I know anyway) that it's a way of cancelling out "quantum pathways" (sum over histories?) but I don't get the mechanics of it, and I never will. :(
@arsenelupin123 Thanks for the response. I know you don't make a habit of making vids. I hope you make more when you have time. :)
Poor Fred. I don't think I would have liked him as a person but fair is fair, and arrogance like his was deserved, up to a point. Just a shame heavyweight physicists can be like heavyweight boxers and stay in the ring for one fight too many, defending ideas that are already dead.

Don't worry about that, I just started to study it and I've been studying physics for almost 5 years...
