1. paul adrien maurice dirac

   Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who is regarded as one of the most significant physicists of the 20th century. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a professor of physics at Florida State University and the University of Miami, and a 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics recipient. Dirac made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter. Dirac shared the 1933 Nobel Prize in Physics with Erwin Schrödinger "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory". He also made significant contributions to the reconciliation of general relativity with quantum mechanics. Dirac was regarded by his friends and colleagues as unusual in character. In a 1926 letter to Paul Ehrenfest, Albert Einstein wrote of a Dirac paper, "I am toiling over Dirac. This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful." In another letter concerning the Compton effect he wrote, "I don't understand the details of Dirac at all."

   Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was a British theoretical physicist, regarded as one of the most prominent physicists of the 20th century. Born in 1902 and died in 1984, Dirac is best known for his contribution to the development of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. His most significant work was the formulation of the Dirac equation, an equation that describes the behavior of fermions - subatomic particles with half-integer spin. He also predicted the existence of antimatter. Dirac's accomplishments in the field of physics earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933, which he shared with Erwin Schrödinger.
