Physics in 10 minutes - The principle of least action

This is my contribution to the summer of math exposition #SoME.

The viewer is introduced to the fundamental principle of least action that can be found all over in classical physics. It also provides the starting point for modern approaches to quantum physics.

The topic is introduces on the level of concepts. Details can be found in a follow-up video:
