Why Light Doesn't Move The Way You Think| Leonard Susskind

Light seems simple. You flip a switch, and the room brightens. You look at the sky, and sunlight reaches your eyes instantly — or so it feels. But the truth is far stranger. In this lecture-style exploration inspired by Leonard Susskind’s way of teaching physics, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions about reality: light does not move the way intuition tells us it should. Instead of traveling like tiny bullets in straight lines, light follows rules governed by quantum mechanics, relativity, and geometry. From Fermat’s Principle to spacetime paths, and from photons behaving like particles and waves to the idea that light explores every possible path, physics reveals a universe that is far more elegant — and far more surprising — than common sense suggests. We’ll explore: Why light always chooses the path of least time How reflection and refraction emerge from deeper physical laws The connection between light and spacetime geometry Why photons don’t experience time the way we do How quantum physics changes our understanding of motion itself This is not just a lesson about light — it’s a lesson about how reality actually works beneath the surface. Leonard Susskind often emphasizes that physics is about replacing intuition with mathematical truth and conceptual clarity. Once you understand light properly, you begin to see why the universe behaves with such consistency and beauty. By the end of this video, you may never think about light — or motion — the same way again.
