Discussing the life and works of Paul Dirac, the 20th century physicist who laid the foundations of Quantum Physics
Dirac was like a physicist's physicist. Feynman mentioned working with him every chance he got.
He was also super duper weird! I don't know if you've heard this anecdote or not, but his colleagues coined "a dirac", or one spoken word per hour.
"Heisenberg and Schrödinger can claim to have caught the first glimpses of the theory of Quantum Physics. But it was Paul Dirac who put them together and revealed the whole picture." / Stephen Hawking/
