>The culmination of Dirac’s scientific career came in November 1933, when he had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing it with Schrödinger. One would imagine that young Dirac was overjoyed to become a Nobel laureate, but this was not the case. In fact, at first, he seriously contemplated rejecting the prize because of the publicity it would inevitably bring with it. But as the British physicist Ernest Rutherford pointed out to him, a refusal would surely create much more publicity, so Dirac reluctantly accepted it. At the time, a London newspaper, the Sunday Dispatch, described the 31-year-old Cambridge professor to be “as shy as a gazelle and as modest as a Victorian maid.” It added that he “fears all succubi.”

>>221156i can't really say that because he hated his father and i don't. i have had this vision that scientists were actually normgroids (see feynman) social enjoyers and sex havers. although dirac married, he didn't stop being turbo shy, which can be seen in his lectures (he sounds like someone reading a book). his persona is that of someone toying with something to see what comes out, and i am willing to bet that is what he liked about math so much; i couldn't verify this with a better source but it is claimed that the antimatter was discovered by him multiplying both sides of an equation by -1, only then he worked on the meaning of what he had found according to quantum physics.
why did i create a thread for this? i just found something on the internet i found interesting and i thought wizzies would like too; i find this sarcastic reply unnecessary
