Dirac (Paul Dirac)

Paul Dirac was a Nobel-winning physicist who made fundamental contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. He formulated the Dirac equation, which describes particles like electrons with both their wave-like behavior and intrinsic spin, while also predicting the existence of antimatter—particles identical to regular matter but with opposite charge. His work unified quantum mechanics with special relativity, providing a deeper understanding of the behavior of particles at high energies. Dirac's theories laid the groundwork for much of modern physics, influencing how scientists understand the universe at its most fundamental level.
