In 1928 Paul Dirac developed through complex mathematical calculations a theory that integrated quantum mechanics, used to describe the subatomic world, with Einstein’s Special Relativity, which says nothing travels faster than light. However, he soon realized his equations not only worked for an electron with negative charge. It also worked for a particle that behaves … Read more
How can we be sure that the mathematical universes we create actually exist in nature? Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac addressed this issue in a lecture he delivered on February 6, 1939 regarding “The Relation between Mathematics and Physics“. “The physicist, in his study of natural phenomena, has two methods of making progress: (1) the method … Read more
The existence of antimatter was predicted by Paul Dirac when he realized his relativistic quantum theory of an electron yielded up twice as many solutions as he thought he needed. Two of the solutions correspond to the spin-up and spin-down orientations of the electron. So what did the other two solutions correspond to? He had … Read more
We have shown throughout this blog and its companion book “The Reality of the Fourth *Spatial* Dimension” it is possible to define a universe in terms of four *spatial* dimensions in a manner that makes predictions identical with those of Einstein’s Special and General Theories of Relativity while at the same time defining several theoretical advantages … Read more
