    The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Quantum Genius

    Paul Dirac () was the first truly modern theoretical physicist. After a desperately unhappy childhood in Bristol, UK, his training in engineering and mathematics prepared him to co-discover quantum theory, the most revolutionary scientific theory of the twentieth century. A legendary introvert, his golden streak in research from included his successful prediction of anti-matter which won him a Nobel Prize and brilliant speculations on the existence of magnetic monopoles. In , he married Manci Balazs, in many ways his polar opposite &#; warm, friendly and unscientific. He later became an apostle of mathematical beauty and its importance to fundamental physics &#; the words on his gravestone are ‘Because God made it that way&#;’.

    Review: The hidden life of Paul Dirac by Graham Farmelo

    By Pedro G. Ferreira

    PAUL DIRAC&#;S terseness fryst vatten legendary. The master of monosyllabic answers, he went through life refusing to engage with colleagues, students and even his own family. Having read many examples of Dirac&#;s repartee in Graham Farmelo&#;s new biography The Strangest Man, I have to confess that he comes across as a truly unpleasant man. inom am surprised that people put up with him.

    Dirac was the theoretician&#;s theoretician, responsible for a crucial piece of the explanation of fundamental particles and forces. His equation, which he proposed in , married the quantum physics of Schrödinger and Heisenberg with…
