Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac OM FRS (/dɪˈræk/ di-RAK; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a member of the Center for Theoretical Studies, University of Miami, and spent the last decade of his life at Florida State University.
Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation, which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter. Dirac shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1933 with Erwin Schrödinger, "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory". He also did work that forms the basis of modern attempts to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics.
He was regarded by his friends and colleagues as unusual in character. Albert Einstein said of him, "This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful". His mathematical brilliance, however, means he is regarded as one of the most significant physicists of the 20th century.
A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics or quantum theory) including quantum field theory, is a fundamental branch of physics concerned with processes involving, for example, atoms and photons. In such processes, said to be quantized, the action has been observed to be only in integer multiples of the Planck constant, a physical quantity that is exceedingly, indeed perhaps ultimately, small. This is utterly inexplicable in classical physics.
Quantum mechanics gradually arose from Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem (reported 1859) and Albert Einstein's 1905 paper which offered a quantum-based theory to explain the photoelectric effect (reported 1887). Early quantum theory was profoundly reconceived in the mid-1920s.
The reconceived theory is formulated in various specially developed mathematical formalisms. In one of them, a mathematical function, the wave function, provides information about the probability amplitude of position, momentum, and other physical properties of a particle.
Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.
The founder of the organization, Salman Khan, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States to immigrant parents from Bangladesh and India. After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MEng in electrical engineering and computer science), he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School.
In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.

Paul M. Dirac Speaking to F. Hund on Symmetry in Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and Physics of Elementary Particles. Filmed in Göttingen around 1982. Abstract of interview: Symmetry as central concept in theoretical physics. Space and time according to Lorentz-transformations. Matter and anti-matter. Dirac's definition of symmetry. Fermions. Negative energy levels. Einstein's general theory of relativity. Natural time and length. Cosmology and gravitation. Relative quantum mechanics. Atomic constants.
1975 Christchurch - New Zealand. Dirac's comments here can be nicely joined with the words of Heisenberg at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqfTO4NTqJ4 . Thanks to ThoughtThinksYou.,,this too is well worth listening to. Branimir Vasilic has also kindly cleaned the sound and removed the 50 cycle hum. Big thanks - (I don't know how to do this!) See http://www.youtube.com/user/el3ktropionir/videos. I'm very sorry the quality is so poor - these movies were made from old spool video tapes when the first video recorders had just become available in New Zealand. (The magnetic coating brushes off the tape when touched.) I only posted these because no other better stuff like this has yet been offered to the public. I found these lectures after years of thinking I'd stupidly lost them. I was recen...
Adjunct Professor of Physics at Northeastern University in Boston, Graham Farmelo, on Paul Dirac and the Religion of Mathematical Beauty. Apart from Einstein, Paul Dirac was probably the greatest theoretical physicist of the 20th century. Dirac, co-inventor of quantum mechanics, is now best known for conceiving of anti-matter and also for his deeply eccentric behavior. For him, the most important attribute of a fundamental theory was its mathematical beauty, an idea that he said was "almost a religion" to him.

When quantum mechanics and relativity are combined to describe the electron the result is the Dirac equation, presented in 1928. This equation predicts electron spin and the existence of anti-matter.

Paul Dirac was one of the most proficient theoretical physicists of the 20th century. In this interview, Dirac himself talks about the existence of dimensionless, fundamental constants in physics. These constants are numbers, usually ratios, which contain no units and are therefore universal. No matter what units you use, a dimensionless number will always be measured to be the same. The most widely known example, from mathematics, is Pi which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter of the circle. No matter in what units you measure both the circumference and diameter of a circle, be it feet, meters or stadia, Pi will always be 3.14159265..... The fact that fundamental physics constants exist as dimensionless constants means that they can act as landmarks in a physica...

What is DIRAC EQUATION? What does DIRAC EQUATION mean? DIRAC EQUATION meaning & explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ license. In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles such as electrons and quarks, for which parity is a symmetry, and is consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity, and was the first theory to account fully for special relativity in the context of quantum mechanics. It accounted for the fine details of the hydrogen spectrum in a completely rigorous way. The equation also imp...
