A lot of information on the history of this theory should be pulled in here. See e.g. Quantum_mechanics#History. -- Beland 05:50, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Persistent... idontknowhattocallit
The same anon that's been going around vandalizing other theoretical phyisics related articles, has apparently settled on this page, and while I wouldn't call its edits outright vadalism, I would say that its past history makes me doubt its seriousness, seems more like it's picked an article where vandalism wouldn't be very likely to be noticed, and stuck with it
- I'd like to get an outside opinion on this--Aolanaonwaswronglyaccused 03:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- My opinion is that you should look up the information in the citation before accusing the person of vandalism. Edit: ...though it seems that the user has not made a strict citation or reference, making a check quite difficult to do. I'll see what I can dredge up. In the meantime, let's not treat something as vandalism until we see genuine reasons to do so. Lucidish 01:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- The citation for the Feynman quote that's floating around is James Gleick's "Genius: The life and science of Richard Feynman", p348. Lucidish
Every Possible Path?
From article "In fact, according to QED, it takes EVERY possible path between the start and end points."
I think that the claim that it takes EVERY possible path is Feynman's Many World's interpretation of quantum mechanics and not a necessary component of QED. However, in order to do some of the calculations in QED, which, according to the book "QED" cited on the page, can be done by drawing pictures on a 2d access of space and time, Feynman diagrams. Now in order to do the calculations you need to know every possible path it can take before you compute the probability of it taking a certain path (which is the experimental evidence of QED), but that is not the same as it taking every possible path.--MobyDikc 23:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
