Feb 1, 1998 · Paul Dirac: the purest soul in physics. 01 Feb 1998. Paul Dirac published the first of his papers on “The Quantum Theory of the Electron” seventy years ago this month. The Dirac equation, derived in those papers, is one of the most important equations in physics, says Michael Berry. Genius at work.
