The Only Question About Light That Fooled Feynman

Описание: The Only Question About Light That Fooled Feynman
Description
Nature has this delightful way of being incredibly simple until you ask "Why?" just one too many times. In this video, we’re diving into the mind of Richard Feynman to uncover the specific mystery of light that left even the master of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) shaking his head.

We often pretend we know what a photon is—it’s a particle, it’s a wave, it’s a "wave-particle duality," right? But when you strip away the math and the jargon, you're left with a fundamental gap in our understanding of physical reality. We’ll explore the famous "Magnetism Interview" logic where Feynman explains why some questions are actually "why" traps, and we’ll apply that to the nature of electromagnetic radiation.

This isn't just a history lesson; it’s a journey into the double-slit experiment, probability amplitudes, and the sheer "imagination in a straight jacket" required to be a physicist. If you've ever felt like the universe is playing a joke on us, you're going to love this. Let's see if we can get comfortable with not knowing.
