Before quarks were proposed, this scientist proposed partons to analyze high-energy hadron collisions.
Before quarks were proposed, this scientist proposed partons to analyze high-energy hadron collisions. Using a formalism fully developed by this person, the quantum mechanical amplitude can be found by integrating over all the possible paths with a weighting factor given by the classical action, the so-called path integral formulation. Squiggly and straight lines can be used to show the annihilation of an electron and positron to form a photon on his namesake (*) diagrams. This physicist's undergraduate lectures at CalTech were packaged into his namesake Lectures on Physics. For 10 points, name this bongo drum enthusiast who shared a Nobel with Julian Schwinger for his work in quantum electrodynamics and demonstrated the effects of cold on an O-ring after the Challenger disaster.
