What is Recap of part II about?

Starting from the everyday observation that light travels in a straight line, theoretical physicists have zoomed to an understanding of the quantum world as a sum of all possibilities. First, we zip through space in the least amount of time. Then we move through spacetime extremizing our action. These two foundational principles, which superficially seem so different, later turned out to be one and the same. That they are the same amounts to special relativity. Afterward, we watch the action ushering in the almighty quantum. The action in units of determines the probability amplitude. Summing the probability amplitudes the way Dirac and Feynman showed us, we obtain quantum physics.
