Through the translation of highly complex mathematical theory into simple language, tied in with a graphic viewing apparatus, the popularization of this theory was made possible. Therein consists the second ‘revolution’ of Feynman’s works. Not only did he make quantum electrodynamics more widespread among the physics community, but he also made modern physics popular, like very few other physicists of the twentieth century, through his numerous lectures that were later publicized as essays and in books.

The Character of Physical Law (Feynman 1965) was created from a series of lectures that Feynman had held in 1960. In this volume, Feynman leads the reader to complex and fundamental questions from Newton’s law of gravitation to the concept of symmetry in modern physics, which he visualizes without sliding into the trivial. In the process, Feynman also ventures on to complex themes. The volume QED-The Strange Theory of Light and Matter similarly emerged from a popular lecture series and, to this day, is a unique popular scientific introduction to Feynman’s formulation of quantum electrodynamics (Feynman 1985). His capability to make such complex data accessible to others, made Feynman famous as a teacher and textbook author. The famous Feynman Lectures emerged from a multiple semester lecture series and fortified Feynman’s reputation as a brilliant teacher (Feynman et al. 1989a, b, c).
