Paul Dirac
Paul Dirac was an influential British theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. His formulation of the Dirac equation incorporated relativistic effects into quantum theory and predicted the existence of antimatter, marking a milestone in modern physics.
Born on Aug 08, 1902 (123 years old)
