Marvelous scientific biography
A Tribute to a Brilliant Man
Paul Dirac - The man and his work
An insightful recollection of a nearly invisible genius. The book is a collection of four lectures given in the subject's honor in 1995 on the tenth anniversary ofhis death. The final lecture and the latter part of the third are highlymathematical and technical and clearly intended for a professionalaudience. But for me, the first lecture by Abraham Pais is worth thepurchase price alone.Pais was not only a contemporary physicist, but alsoa close friend and as close to a confidant as was possible with such areticent man. Through Pais' eyes, we see a mathematician turned physicistwho was very different from the man to whom Dirac is most frequentlycompared, Albert Einstein.Einstein was a physicist first, mathematiciansecond.Dirac was exactly the opposite.Einstein became a social andpolitical critic, Dirac never strayed far from his study.The two weresimilar in that both viewed mathematical beauty as primary and both hatedthe modern remake of quantum mechanics (after the initial theory) for verysimilar reasons.This last point was interesting as Dirac was the firstone to combine all his contemporaries' work on this improved quantumphysics into a formal mathematical structure.His resulting equation,called naturally the Dirac equation, is classic Dirac, short and sweet. Itcombined Einsteinian relativity with the new quantum theory and Diracconsidered the result to govern most of physics and all of chemistry. Stephen Hawking, the renowned theoretical physicist, says in hisintroductory memorial address to the book, "If Dirac had patented theequation ... he would have become one of the richest men in the world.Every television set or computer would have paid him royalties."For thiswork, Dirac shared the 1933 Nobel Prize with German physicist ErwinSchroedinger.One unexpected consequence of this work was a mathematicalconclusion that defined a "negative energy" matter (aka antimatter)solution. Simply put, he had discovered a universe noone had imagined.Tothis day, we see the effects of this discovery from medical necessities(PET scan imaging-Positron Emission Tomography) to science fiction (StarTrek). The quotations and anecdotes Pais chooses are well placed andoften very funny.They are also supported by theimages of Diracportrayed in the sketch on the cover and in the few photographs scatteredthrough the first two lectures.They reveal his character well.He sawmathematical and physical realities so clearly that he simply could notunderstand why others did not see them as well.The photo of him"listening" to future Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman in Maurice Jacob'ssection is one of the most amusing of the collection. In the secondlecture, Jacob shows the path of discovery and effect on latter dayexperimental physics of antimatter.He goes too long in spots but isgenerally fine. ... Read more |
