Paul Dirac

I’m on a roll.  Where there’s a Fermi, there has to be a Dirac.  Unfortunately this one isn’t as good.  I had some trouble with Dirac’s left eye and it’s ended up being a bit grey and smudgy.  It looks as if he’s been in a fight.

Dirac’s biography (The Strangest Man) is on my wishlist at the moment.  Maybe I should push it up the list, get it for my birthday, read it. If I read that he got into a punchup with someone, or even that he just had verbal disagreements, then I’m going to claim this is him after meeting that guy.   It’s always possible.  The Amazon reviews suggest Dirac wasn’t great at relating to other people.

Genius though.  He put the mathematical in mathematical physics.  Years before anybody discovered antimatter in the lab, Dirac had “discovered” it by solving an equation.
