Abstract

"Schwinger's quantum electrodynamics and Feynmann's may have been mathematically the same, but one was conservative and the other revolutionary. One extended an existing line of thought. The other broke with the past decisively enough to mystify its intended audience. One represented an ending: a mathematical style doomed to be fatally overcomplex. The other, for those willing to follow Feynmann into a new style of visualization, served as a beginning. Feynmann's style was risky, even megalomaniacal." [1]
