  • Only someone who has sacrificed himself by teaching himself quantum electrodynamics from a peculiar and unusual point of view; one that he may have to invent for himself.

    Richard P. Feynman - Nobel Lecture 1972

  • Each time I would discover something, however, I would go back and I would check it so many ways, compare it to every problem that had been done previously in electrodynamics (and later, in weak coupling meson theory) to see if it would always agree, and so on, until I was absolutely convinced of the truth of the various rules and regulations which I concocted to simplify all the work.

    Richard P. Feynman - Nobel Lecture 1972

  • Quantum electrodynamics is indeed one of the most accurate of all the theories of physics.

  • Since the nature and manner of this transmission can be followed up in all its details, the demand that Gauss made for a theory of electrodynamics is fulfilled.

    Hendrik A. Lorentz - Nobel Lecture 1967

  • ELECTRO MAGNET, and to Ampère we are indebted for the actual discovery of the elementary principles of what we now call electrodynamics, or dynamic electricity, [Footnote: In all science there is a continual going back to the past for a means of expression for things whose application is most modern.

  • Classical electrodynamics introduced even more ephemeral objects — fields.
