Physics is just old guys arguing over who invented the best shortcut.

"I recognize the lion by his claws" is such an epic quote Imagine being so legendary you don't have to sign off your letters/papers and people instantly know who wrote it
@nolanthedude
One thing I adore about these videos is that they bring attention to history's forgotten heroes. Nakamura wasn't given the credit he deserved for the blue LED, and that video brought his contributions into the spotlight for millions. Now, Maupertuis has been given the spotlight and he can be recognized for his efforts alongside some of history's greatest mathematicians. If only he lived long enough to see this.

Now we just need a Theory of Everything 2

It's truly an Eureka moment when all the things just came out to be F=ma

I generally dont leave comments. But I felt I had to write this down. 24 years ago when I took my physics class as a first year under grad student, I was quickly introduced to the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian in a physics class with just the equations thrown around. There were books in the library which provided tons of equations but never the intuition behind them. It was assumed that the reader knew why this had to be the case. I never got back to digging this deeper as my primary area of focus had shifted to other subjects. But after so many years I am finally happy to see the beautiful thought process behind them. Really appreciate you for making such valuable and interesting content.

As a 13 year old who is super interested in mathematics and physics, I really want to thank veritasium for making these vids. You explain these difficult concepts so well and u make it really entertaining. Thank you for sparking my interest in mathematics and physics. I love ur vids:)
@raktimaryabiswas3182
Waiting eagerly for the next part. Please take the least possible time !

I'm a PhD physicist and I'm very grateful to you for this video. I'm amazed, I still have goosebumps. Best explanation I've ever seen. And all physicists and engineers know how difficult it is to understand this topic the first time during college, and you made it so easy. What an amazing trip it was!
@Lukav1
This is such a great transition: Mapertui is bullied - depressing music playing Euler mentioned - Boss battle music starts playing 🔥🔥🔥
@OytheGreat
Such great content really makes my heart swell with joy and gratefulness there are so many wonderful people out there. Every day we're confronted with the worst our world has to offer, but I try to remember that there are still far more fantastic people out there, contributing to our understanding of the universe and sharing that knowledge in wonderful fashion. I've shared this with my uncle, dad and some friends and they all loved it and were blown away by how easy team Veritasum can present such complex matter. Not just explaining it, but interweaving it with the captivating lives of these geniusses who brought us to where we are today. Thank you Derek and your whole fantastic team from Belgium! ♥

I attended a university lecture which covered Multi DOF Dynamic Systems, the Euler-Lagrangian Equation, and Double Pendulums this morning as a Mechanical Engineering student. Was completely baffled and confused about the theory behind all of it. Coming home exhausted at the end of the day watching this piece of art just made me tear up. Such an amazing coincidence that this video was released today. The moment everything came to F=ma was such an Eureka moment too! Thank you Derek.
@HeisenbergFam
You know its deadly serious when Veritasium says "we are approaching spooky teritory"
@pedrocasella1327
I just did an undergraduate research about Lagrangian in manifolds, and now I have to create a poster about it. Thank God. for this video right now!!

Theory of Everything? Like the level from Geometry Dash? OHHHH MYYY GODDDDDD
