The Development of Quantum Field Theory
25:27 - 34:16 (08:48)
This episode discusses the development of quantum field theory in the 1940s and 1950s, with the contributions of Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger and Tom Inaga, as well as the strong force field and the proposal that particles are made up of smaller things called quarks.

Summary
The quantum field theory of the electromagnetic force was developed in the 1940s and 1950s by prominent physicists, including Feynman and Schwinger. The strong force between quarks leads to the creation of a spring-like bond that makes a whole jet of quarks fly off when one tries to pull a quark out of a proton.
