    Extractions: Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was born on 8th August, 1902, at Bristol, England, his father being Swiss and his mother English. He was educated at the Merchant Venturer's Secondary School, Bristol, then went on to Bristol University . Here, he studied electrical engineering, obtaining the B.Sc. (Engineering) degree in 1921. He then studied mathematics for two years at Bristol University, later going on to St.John's College, Cambridge , as a research student in mathematics. He received his Ph.D. degree in 1926. The following year he became a Fellow of St.John's College and, in 1932, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Dirac's work has been concerned with the mathematical and theoretical aspects of quantum mechanics. He began work on the new quantum mechanics as soon as it was introduced by Heisenberg in 1928 - independently producing a mathematical equivalent which consisted essentially of a noncommutative algebra for calculating atomic properties - and wrote a series of papers on the subject, published mainly in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, leading up to his relativistic theory of the electron (1928) and the theory of holes (1930). This latter theory required the existence of a positive particle having the same mass and charge as the known (negative) electron. This, the positron was discovered experimentally at a later date (1932) by

    Extractions: The Bristol-born physicist Paul Dirac was one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century , writes Peter Rodgers, editor of Physics World . Dirac made many crucial contributions to quantum mechanics, the theory which describes the world on very small scales, and shared the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics "for the discovery of new and productive forms of atomic theory". Dirac's career Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was born at 15 Monk Road in Bishopston, Bristol, UK, on 8 August 1902. His father was from Switzerland and taught French at the Merchant Venturers' Technical College in Bristol. His mother was from Cornwall. The young Dirac was educated at the Bishop Road Elementary School and the secondary school of the Merchant Venturers', which later became Cotham Grammar School. In 1918 he entered Bristol University, where he graduated with first-class honours in electrical engineering in 1921. Fascinated by Einstein's theories of relativity, but unable to take up a scholarship at Cambridge University for financial reasons, he stayed at Bristol and graduated in mathematics, again with first-class honours, in 1923. Dirac then moved to St John's College, Cambridge, to do research in theoretical physics under the supervision of Ralph (RH) Fowler of the Cavendish Laboratory. Within a few years Dirac had completed in his Nobel Prize work. In 1932 he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, the post once held by Sir Isaac Newton and today by Stephen Hawking.

    Extractions: Points of View: March 2000 Antonino Zichichi argues that the discoveries made by Paul Dirac had a much bigger impact on the science of the 20th century than those of Albert Einstein. Our greatest endeavour in basic science over the past century has, undoubtedly, been the study of the electromagnetic, strong and weak forces. Although the general theory of relativity was formulated more than 80 years ago, gravitational forces are only now entering the arena of basic scientific research. This is happening because the greatest synthesis of all time, which describes the basic interactions of all the known elementary particles, has finally been achieved in the form of the Standard Model of particle physics. This synthesis is the result of the work of physicists the world over, who have dedicated themselves to the study of what happens when the stable building-blocks of matter (protons, electrons and nuclei) are made to interact at higher and higher energies. The laboratories where physicists have experimentally tested the Standard Model are found around the world, and include famous European names such as CERN in Geneva, the DESY lab near Hamburg, and the Gran Sasso and Frascati labs in Italy. Physicists at Fermilab, Brookhaven and Stanford in the US have also made huge contributions, as have scientists at labs in China, the former Soviet Union and Japan.

The book is available for purchase through Amazon.com To take a one week course with David Peat In one of C.P. Snow's early novels a character in the scientific life of Cambridge is described as the successor of Newton. It can only be Paul Dirac (1902-). Like Newton before him Dirac has made contributions that are respected by his colleagues not only for their depth of insight and clarity but for the power and economy with which mathematics is brought to bear upon the problems of nature. Dirac`s scientific papers have the polished and balanced appearance of a sculpture by Brancusi. While Heisenberg was discovering the principles of quantum mechanics in his Helgoland retreat, Erwin Schrödinger followed a different path to derive his wave mechanics of the atom. Dirac was able to show that the two theories were equivalent, and in the process provided quantum theory with a sound mathematical footing. His contributions in physics also include the quantum theory of matter and radiation, the prediction of the spin of the electron, and the existence of the positron as well as an attempt to form a marriage between quantum theory and the theory of relativity. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933.

    Extractions: Paul Dirac 's father was Charles Adrien Ladislas Dirac and his mother was Florence Hannah Holten. Charles Dirac was a Swiss citizen born in Monthey, in the Valais Canton of Switzerland, while his mother came from Cornwall in England. Charles had been educated at the University of Geneva, then came to England in around 1888 and taught French in Bristol. There he met Florence, whose father had moved to Bristol as Master Mariner on a Bristol ship, when she was working in the library there. Charles and Florence married in 1899 and they moved into a house in Bishopston, Bristol, which they named Monthey after the town of Charles's birth. By this time Charles was teaching French at the secondary school attached to the Merchant Venturers Technical College in Bristol. Paul was one of three children, his older brother being Reginald Charles Felix Dirac and his younger sister being Beatrice Isabelle Marguerite Walla Dirac. Paul had a very strict family upbringing. His father insisted that only French be spoken at the dinner table and, as a result, Paul was the only one to eat with his father in the dining room. Paul's father was so strict with his sons that both were alienated and Paul was brought up in a somewhat unhappy home.

    Extractions: Dirac’s "Coincidences" Sixty Years On Robert A. J. Matthews Abstract : Sixty years ago, the existence of "coincidences" between dimensionless ratios of sub-atomic and cosmological quantities prompted Dirac to develop a cosmological model based on a suspected connection between physics at the quantum and cosmic levels. While his original proposal has not stood the test of time, recent developments linking cosmology to quantum vacuum processes may yet breathe new life into Dirac’s intriguing hypothesis. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Paul Dirac’s paper A new basis for cosmology , outlining a new cosmological model based on the existence of a set of extraordinary "coincidences" in cosmic and atomic physics (Dirac 1938). In his paper, Dirac noted that, for some unexplained reason, the ratio of the electrostatic to gravitational force between an electron and a proton is roughly equal to the age of the universe divided by an elementary time constant, implying that hc/Gm p m e ~ m p c where h is Planck’s constant, c the speed of light, G the Newtonian gravitational constant, m e and m p the masses of the electron and proton respectively, and H is the cosmic Hubble parameter. On rearrangement (1) leads to the intriguing implication that the expansion rate of the universe, as measured by H, is linked to sub-atomic quantities via a relationship of the form

For these particles, Dirac worked out the statistics, now called Fermi-Dirac statistics because Italian physicist Enrico Fermi had done very similar work. These are used, for example, to determine the distribution of electrons at different energy levels.
