About this listen

 Paul Dirac, a brilliant yet introverted physicist, revolutionized quantum mechanics by formulating the Dirac equation, predicting the existence of antimatter. Despite a difficult childhood and personal struggles, his theoretical work led to the discovery of the positron and earned him the Nobel Prize. Dirac's legacy endures, even as he grappled with self-doubt, leaving an indelible mark on science and our understanding of the universe's symmetry.
