At the start, this account mentions, "Dirac believed that fundamental laws of Nature are found be expressed by 'pretty' equations", but this was not emphasized at the end. I was surprised by this, since Dirac held this belief more and more by the end of his life. To him, Truth had to beautiful, as his equation. His agnosticism became more the belief of a believer! We should remember his belief -- for he was probably right! :)

Dirac was an atheist, you will claim Peter Higgs next. @@johnshuster9475

Beautiful!😊

How beautiful, you saw him and worked with him.

Now I want to c u

Beautiful

Knit one, pearl two. He and his equation were beautiful. His life was not a failure

… but, what are they!?!? now i want to learn how to knit!

@@ThatsWhenItkickedin There are other types of stitches but the wife was only using the basic two (a clockwise stitch & an anti-clockwise stitch that is reversed if you look from the other side of the knitted fabric). You can double (or multiple) wrap a stitch before pulling it through or add two stitches on one loop. There are hundreds of stitches but I know very little about knitting.

I'm gonna have to nominate Einstein's E=mc^2 as the most elegant and profound equation in all of math and physics. It states that mass can be converted to energy -- and the reverse -- energy can be converted to mass. This has enormous implications for the formation of the physical universe from the energy supplied by the Big Bang. Going in the opposite direction, we derive incredible amounts of energy from small amounts of mass that undergo nuclear reactions.

Lives of celebrities serve a purpose.. to make people forget their worries, a little steam letting after a tiresome day.. The lives of geniuses are celebrated too.. by those looking for the truth..

True!

Paul Dirac will be rembered as long as humanity is alive .. Everything celebrity will be lost in time...

Very true, but I feel it has been that way since .. forever (more or less)

@@AshikurRahmanRifatI agree and maybe even more! I would expect to see an increase as time passes. We are just small people on giants shoulders, isn’t it? 😊

Hi am Lawrence from Kenya ,was wondering if you can help so that my discoveries in physics can be known

True! Rare but still in a very special club of few, huge, intellectual trees, in the forest of science (Einstein citation approximation 😊)

What is the "special" 2D space?

@@ClarkPotter The 2d space is special because its coordinates are complex numbers, not real numbers.

that is special, i feel special

Are you saying that Dirac's equation came from Hamiltonians?

Can you imagine if Dirac had the self-esteem of Heisenberg? He would have probably revolutionized science to levels we have not yet achieved!

well said and you are spot on.

Three of Wittgenstein's brothers took their own lives. It just may be connected to genius.

@@paulbreen8533 You certainly may be onto something with your comment. Still, the father's behavior is no excuse. I'm reminded that Barbra Streisand was performing a concert in New York a number of years ago. Apparently, her mother was in the audience. Streisand looked toward her mother and said, "Am I pretty, Mama?" No need to remind you that at that point, Streisand had accomplished EVERYTHING, and yet, there's that parental implanted insecurity.

It's true ..My father also scared the shit out of me when I wasa children ..All though i have growned a lot now..but i am still afraid of people for no reason

he was the epitome of modesty, but physicists generally do not name things after themselves. Equations or ideas come to carry their name because other physicists speak of them that way. "Dirac's equation", later "the Dirac Equation". An interesting exception is E=mc^2. It did not come to be known as 'Einstein's equation', perhaps it was just so short its easy enough to say 'E equals m c squared'.

I bet he couldn't wait to get out of there.

@@FredPlanatia it's easy

1. Bosons are INCORRECTLY named after Bose. Bose, unbeknownst to himself, created what are now know as Bose-Einstein Statistics (which really should just be called Bose Statistics). However, the Boson was 100% Einstein NOT Bose. They should be named after Einstein (but for interesting historical reasons aren't, the same way Dirac should have gotten credit for creating quantum field theory, not Feynman). To quote Professor Douglas Stone, head of Applied Physics at Yale, "Bosons weren't actually predicted by Bose, Bose, unwittingly created a new statistical framework to derive the planck's equation but he was unaware that what he was doing was novel. Even after his paper was published, Schrodinger, who read it, was unaware of any novel ideas in Bose's paper. It was Einstein who predicted Bose-Einstein Condensates, not Bose - who had nothing to do with it's prediction - and Boson's should be called Einsteinions but that may have been too much of a mouthful to pronounce." Reference: Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian (by Douglas Stone). Einstein predicted the Boson NOT Bose. And i suspect Dirac probably didn't derive much knowledge from speaking to Bose because Einstein, who sponsored Bose, had Bose's paper published when NOBODY ELSE WOULD (and got it translated into English even though German was the lingua franca of physics), wrote to other physicists pointing out how and why Bose's paper was original (even showing Schrodinger how Bose' new statistics was 1/3 not 1/2, the defining quality which separates BE Statistics from FD Statistics), got Bose a JOB a prestigious European university, and gave Bose an assignment in the new field of quantum mechanics (something to do with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Matrix Mechanics, which was 100% Max Born, not Heisenberg, even though the latter typically gets credited with it). Bose, by his own admission, could not complete the assignment and within a few years of publishing his brilliant paper, was out of physics. By his own admission "I was like a comet." 2. Bose would have remained unknown for the rest of his life without Einstein. He had tried for months to get his paper published, but nobody of any repute would publish it. 3. Dirac coined the term Boson, but even HE didn't quite grasp the novelty of Bose's paper UNTIL Einstein wrote a primer on it explaining the novelty of what Bose had done. These are the reasons why we just call it BE Statistics and BE Condensates even though the former was 100% Bose and the latter (the Boson) was 100% Einstein. The more you know.... 😉

@@FredPlanatia I mean LOTS of equations are INCORRECTLY named after the wrong guy. We've found tons of equations for which the attribution PREDATES the person who was credited for it. Often MULTIPLE geniuses will think of an equation at roughly the same time independent of each other, but for strange historical reasons, one person will get credited for the discovery while the other person is ignored. I mean most people erroneously credit newton with the invention of calculus when Leibniz published it first and gave us the notation we STILL USE TODAY: dy/dx History is a funny thing. The Boson is named after Bose, but it should have been named after Einstein. The Raleigh Jeans Equation is another example. Sooo many equations are like this.

@varunnikam You do realize that movies and tv, have been shown to be the, "antimatter", of education. Yes its true that we better remember when emotion is entangled with learning. Personally, I prefer an actual physical book. Each to his/ her own I guess.

@@snakezdewiggle6084love your response, there is no shortcut to LEARNING!

@bryanthegoat9593 Thank you, thars good of to say 😉 What are you currently studying.?

May I suggest you a channel called "Kathy Loves Physics & History". She has a lot of biographies of great scientists.

Am with you my friend. Tons of folk that are under shadowed by media. For media’s gain only. With the exception of Oscar Schindler and Allan Turin and charlotte grey. And others that have got through/ picked up. All wonderful humans . You are correct. The world needs to be aware of these underground genius’s. There place is secure in the archives, but that’s not the best place for them. Society needs to keep them front and center. Lest we forget . Go Jordan Peterson 👏🖖👌💕

If you like the history of quantum mechanics, you NEED to read Professor Douglas Stone's book. Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian by Douglas Stone

Ahhh, celebrity, the true evolutionary benchmark.

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach to you using their service?

Leticia Zavala Perkins, a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.

Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

Fun Fact: before shooting that photograph at the Solvay Conference, they were trying to figure out where everybody would stand. The group unanimously insisted that Einstein sit in the middle as the "crown jewel" of the coterie of geniuses. High praise indeed! Dirac was a huge fan of Einstein's - and the feeling was very mutual!

The Dirac matrices had actually been developed many decades before by mathematicians studying rotations in 3d space. Eli Cartan and Wilhelm Killing did it many years before Dirac. Oh and Dirac got help from Oppenheimer and Weyl.

"All before he passed away." Good thing, cuz after would have been too late!

Noticed that too.

With such reliance on the convenience of modern technology, careful proofreading is a must. Nobody is immune to autocorrect errors. Perhaps a formal model of how autoINcorrect happens can be constructed, and explained by an elegant equation.

Born, Wigner, Von Neumann, Born, Oppenheimer, Weyl, etc. 🙂

And Arnold Sommerfeld who found the dimensionless constant 1/137.06 , the supreme constant in physics, as 3.14159 is in space and 2.71828 is in number theory, both dimensionless. And de Broglie too.

And Rutherford, nicknamed by his students "The Crocodyle" due to his behaviour.

Don't' forget Julian Schwinger and Tomonaga! Every bit as smart as those aforementioned two. I agree with you though. Feynman and Dirac (and Einstein before them) had the most intuitive understanding of the quantum world. Remember, quantum entanglement was staring Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Born, Bohr, etc, all in the face. It took Einstein in 1932 to point out that it was ENTANGLEMENT that was the truly bizarre property of quantum mechanics (and Einstein's EPR paper was basically ignored until John Bell's inequalities - but now forms the foundation of quantum information theory). Book recommendation for you. Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian by Douglas Stone.

Interesting comment. I got the opposite impression. The voice is so even it seems automated, and during the brief moments when the narrator is shown, she seemed like an AI creation. Nevertheless, whether real or AI-assisted, the content is great!

One of the best voices I have heard in a while.

That remainds me of Wigner's description of Feynman: "He is another Dirac, only human this time."

@@itsonlyapapermoon61 Those who tell you -don´t know Those who know -wont tell you

Fair point. And you gave me a great idea to work on a vid about Newton and gravity

I was also in that mistake some time ago. In fact Dirac's equation is older than Schrödinger's and it's precisely the "failure" to achieve that unification that Dirac lamented, which has us putting up with the relatively "Newtonian" equation of the Austrian instead, which works but does not unify (nor can because it has linear time).

ok, ok...

Thank you so much for the support!

Why is the equation the most "beautiful equation in the world" ahead of, say, Euler's Identity? I love the channel, but it's title is kinda click baity.

Umm, not really🤷

That is exactly what you should not do. Keep doing what you are doing. Ifit doesn't pay well in monetary terms, there are more important things as I'm sure you well know.
