How to pronounce “Dirac” in English

So after Dirac's prediction, viewed as one of the greatest predictions of all time, curiosity didn't stop there.

It's exactly what that minus sign in Dirac's equation was revealing.

But with Dirac's four-component solution, the top two wave functions now described two different spin states with two slightly different energies.

It was Dirac's beautiful equation that Heisenberg called, "The saddest chapter in modern physics."

If we substitute those operators in, we get Dirac's final equation for the relativistic free electron.

actually became a reasonable friend of Dirac's.

But what's even more beautiful is that if you look at this, Dirac's equation isn't just first order in time derivatives, it's also first order in spatial derivatives.

We don't have a theory of consciousness that would match Dirac's theory of Quantum Field Theory,

Now, we can substitute those matrices back into Dirac's linear equation, then rewrite the three momenta and alpha coefficients as vectors.

But it was a way of Dirac's rectilinear thinking,

And in 1934, introduced Dirac to his sister, Margit Wigner, a woman who would change Dirac's life, perhaps more than any equation or Nobel Prize.

Over the following decades, physicists built on Dirac's equation to form an entirely new framework of quantum mechanics, quantum field theory.

Dirac's equation also predicts an antiparticle of the electron.

Paul Dirac says, "I can invent an equation for the electron
