Quote of the day by British physicist Paul Dirac: 'God is a mathematician of a very high order and he used…'
In science and philosophy alike, one enduring problem is why the universe is so precisely ordered and why mathematics describes reality with such uncanny accuracy, rather than the world being chaotic ...

His equation predicted a particle nobody had ever seen - just 1 year later, scientists found it
In 1928, Paul Dirac presented an equation so troubling that Werner Heisenberg called the situation “absurd” and described the theory as a deeply unhappy chapter for modern physics. Dirac’s mathematics ...
A seminal paper by Paul Dirac, who relied on mathematical intuition, laid the foundation for quantum electrodynamics. Paul Dirac once said that his theories are “built up from physical concepts which ...
Paul Dirac insisted that his approach to quantum physics was geometric not algebraic. But where is the evidence of this in his pioneering, algebra-rich papers? Of the few authentic visionaries modern ...
