The Maxwell Equations are all "the shortest path, least energy". Surely you
have heard that lighting follows the shortest path.

But I am puzzled as to why neither Feynman nor any mathematical physicists
ever bothered to prove that the Maxwell Equations are the stunning example
of the Least Action Principle.

I know when Lorentz transformations were borne that it was quickly seen that
the Maxwell Equations are invariant to Lorentz transformations. But I am
puzzled why the entire mathematics and physics community were derelict in
not seeing that the Maxwell Equations, in particular Coulombs Law, is
equivalent to Least Action.

Goes to show that even in physics the most obvious is faraway hidden.
