Paul Dirac was among the great scientific geniuses of the modern age. One of the discoverers of quantum mechanics, the most revolutionary theory of the past century, his contributions had a unique insight, eloquence, clarity, and mathematical power. His prediction of antimatter was one of the greatest triumphs in the history of physics. One of Einstein’s most admired colleagues, Dirac was in 1933 the youngest theoretician ever to win the Nobel Prize in physics. Dirac’s personality is legendary. He was an extraordinarily reserved loner, relentlessly literal-minded and appeared to have no empathy with most people. Yet he was a family man and was intensely loyal to his friends. His tastes in the arts ranged from Beethoven to Cher, from Rembrandt to Mickey Mouse. Based on previously undiscovered archives, The Strangest Man reveals the many facets of Dirac’s brilliantly original mind. A compelling human story, The Strangest Man also depicts a spectacularly exciting era in scientific history.
If I was made to choose my favorite biographies,G raham Farmelo's biography of Dirac would definitely be among them, partly because of the steady-paced yet inciting writing style of the author, and partly due to the fact that Dirac himself is such a fascin...

Renormalization is the sin of high energy physics, in some sense.

He may well have thought that the idea was too beautiful to be wrong狄拉克记不住人脸，只好在心里一个个地给他们建等式也太好笑了

正好前不久看了J. Robert Oppenheimer的传记，这本同样精彩，完全两个极端的性格，神奇的是，他们成了一生的挚友

狄拉克不仅奠基了量子力学，推测了反物质，还预见了宇称不守恒和弦论？主角光环......另，上世纪二三十年代的任何历史都，fascinating.

显然高量老师读过这本书, 他PPT里狄拉克的段子基本是从这里复制粘贴的... 「Hidden Life」至少能解读出两个含义: 一是狄拉克沉默寡言, 很少有人近距了解他, 倒数第二章分析了他自闭症的可能; 二是狄拉克的成就一般只从1925年首篇量子力学论文说到1933年诺奖, 后面五十年一片空白. 虽然后五十年确实flop, 其实也不是没有亮点. 因为写错了德布罗意的年龄, 这次就不打五星了,... 显然高量老师读过这本书, 他PPT里狄拉克的段子基本是从这里复制粘贴的... 「Hidden Life」至少能解读出两个含义: 一是狄拉克沉默寡言, 很少有人近距了解他, 倒数第二章分析了他自闭症的可能; 二是狄拉克的成就一般只从1925年首篇量子力学论文说到1933年诺奖, 后面五十年一片空白. 虽然后五十年确实flop, 其实也不是没有亮点. 因为写错了德布罗意的年龄, 这次就不打五星了, 不能每读一本我感兴趣的科学家的传记都五星🤷🏻♀️.(极度想把《朗道传》的五星抹了, 求豆瓣出个这功能...
