I'd change the title on this. Five times Dirac delivered epic burns
What was the original one?
Yeah bro, what was the original title?
I've always loved that picture of Dirac and Feynman in the garden. It looks like Dirac is literally backing away from the stream of Feynman's talk, but winds up trapped by a big flower pot.
reminds me of that story where the homeless philosopher told Alexander to piss off
Greatest introvert in history.
Introvert guys are the most brilliant ones.
@@Hichem90 except Richard Feynman.....he was an extrovert
Apparently, Dirac lightened up some when he moved to Florida in his later years.
Isaac Newton wins that title by a light year.
😂
I had heard, more than once, that when Dirac said _"I have an equation_ [named after him] _do you have one?",_ it was to someone seated next to him at a banquet, and he'd asked in an attempt to be conversational. I prefer that version.
A physics prof of mine who was at Florida State as a graduate student when Dirac was there told me a story about him. Dirac would often attend seminars and developed a reputation for falling asleep during the lecture, or at least seeming to. He would suddenly sometimes come to life and make a relevant remark or ask a question.
One day a young visiting physicist was giving a presentation and was nervous about Dirac being in the audience. He got even more shaken when Dirac seemed to fall asleep. So much so that he struggled badly with the formula derivation he was doing on the board from memory. He had to go back and make many corrections. At the end, as time was running out, he had the right answer but the wrong sign. He apologized to the audience saying "I must have made a sign error somewhere in there."
Dirac suddenly opened his eyes and said "Or an odd number of them, anyway."
Paul Dirac is for sure one of the greatest theoretical physicist of all time
Definitely.
Feynman's hero
Your welcome .
The
First rank physicist with Newton.
Dirac is highly underrated; unfairly unrecognized
That's a typical youtube comment. Dirac is neither underrated nor unrecognized amongst people who are interested in physics.
From dirac, the actual physics starts
Maybe he's underrated down the local bar, but amongst anyone who knows anything about physics he's up there with Einstein.
Underrated by who? I have heard and read a number of physicists state unequivocally that he is one of the two or possibly three greatest of the 20th century.
This was a golden era, late 1800’s early 1900’s.
So many great minds.
Of course there were other before and since, but if I could pick my physics dream team, 80% of it would come from that period.
Arnold Sommerfeld would definitely be on that list.
An era in which fundamental physics was still in the hands of the individuals.
Today it is in the hands of organizations of multi-billion dollars collider makers.
Dirac himself defined it: "Those were the days in which a second rate physicist could do a first rate work, as opposite to what happens nowadays, when a first rate physicist finds it hard to do a second rate work."
Some say that the age of the genius is over. There is too much 'computational power' and knowledge that no individual can bring new discoveries on his own.
@@larrylucid5502 Physics kind of got what it deserved in this regard, after centuries of dismissing anything that wasn't computational as irrelevant. My hunch is that it will get more interesting after a few more generations pass, after the mystique of equations, strings, and 'genius' becomes blasé. Hopefully something on the frontiers of neuroscience and psychedelics.
His responses made perfect sense each time. He apparently was the original Sheldon (and it's the others in the BBT I laugh about).
Dirac wasn't a self consumed selfish man
@@neerajchandran8948 Nor is Sheldon.
one time at an Oxford university dinner someone asked Dirac where he was going on his summer holidays. Dirac was silent for an hour and then asked the man, why do you want to know where I'm going on my summer holidays?
There was a renowned physicist or mathematician that while attending one of his lectures remarked that Dirac didn't notice how difficult to follow his equations was.
Another time, someone entered the room where Dirac was working and exclaimed "nice weather!" to which Dirac calmly raised from his chair, walked to the window and said "Yes".
The anectode that, probably told by Gamow when they set an experiment to see why the guy with the white hat always seemed to beat the black hat guy in cowboy movies, although it could involve Dirac it was probably about another very literal scientist.
How do you know they're nice,he sure made perfect logical sense on that occasion without doubt.
Dirac's description of poetry is poetry itself. He just did not understand that it was his attitude toward physics which was poetic enough to begin with, so that he had no need to be reminded by nonsense of the possibility of profundity beyond complete understanding. The need that most of us have for poetry is to be reminded that certainty is nonsense in any human context.
I wish I might see life through this lens one day
All of these guys are my heroes. Each so brilliant, yet each so different.
Evidently Dirac missed his calling as a comedy writer on Saturday Night Live.
Dirac´s response to Oppenheimer concerning poetry and physics was a brilliant observation. Oppenheimer _should_ have responded likewise, and further asserted that he had answered his own question.
Presumably, in the brief _caesura_ that ensued, Oppenheimer could have effected his getaway.
This was delightful. I'm very right-brained and fathom little of physics, maths, etc: I only discovered Dirac from some of his remarks regarding other things.
In my next incarnation, I'll ask to return with greater abilities that I might better understand Prof. Dirac's profession.
When Dirac spoke, he sounded like a textbook, such was the clarity of his thoughts.
true
I think he was applying what he was taught at school ( never to start a sentence without knowing the end of it) 😊
"The reason why the single photon does or does not go through the polarizing filter cannot be investigated by experiment, and must be regarded as outside the domain of science".
[P.A.M. Dirac, "The Principles of quantum Mechanics"]
Well i sure have a diagram
Richard Feynman
Good one.
Dirac makes me think of Sheldon Cooper.
He’s not as funny as me and he doesn’t know shit about symmetry also I don’t have a twin sister .
The Sigma of Physics 😎
A friend of mine looked similar to young Dirac. Its hilarious to think about it 😂😂
Bohr likely knew how to complete his thought but didn’t know the best way to phrase it. Dirac was very literal
And by the way, I heard Dirac speak at Yale in 1971-2 semester
I think the "I have an equation" comment was snarky. He was essentially saying "I have an equation named after me, you have a diagram". Dirac was never particularly impressed with Feynman's QED, he didn't think it was elegant and regarded it more as a bunch of mathematical tricks to 'sweep the infinities under the carpet' as Feynman himself put it.
If a move about Dirac will be made, the actor should be David Tennant from Around the World in 80 Days
I would prefer David Niven but seeing as he is dead my next choice would be Brad Pitt .
Paul Dirac the greatest physicist no one has heard of.
A brilliant man
For physics students and physicists he's one of the most well known
@alessandroc.4543 he had a brilliant mind!
Didn't like people though 😕
I know how he feels
3:00
For sure
That would be some form of Schrodinger equation
Incredible truths!
Could you tell us how he came up with THE POSITION EQUATION ? Greetings.
LOL, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle of dancing.
Dirac's comment about poetry are remarkably simplistic.
“They changed their guacamole from $1.50 to $1.80. So I'II never again get guacamole. It's not about the guacamole itself I just don't want to let them win." - Paul Dirac

I have an equation; do you have an equation?
My hero after Newton
My hero is me after Einstein .
@@pauldirac808 💐💐

He also enjoyed Playboy magazine. Sent to him by Dick Feynman.
I only enjoyed the articles . My wife ripped out the other pages . Remember we’re British stiff upper lip old boy .
@@pauldirac808 No other stiffs?
I think that Einstein even thought that Dirac was smarter than he was. My all-time genius was Clerk-Maxwell. I can't even imagine a smarter human ever walked the earth.
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
I love Dirac! I say the same types of things and react the same sometimes. 😂
Actually, Feynman could have replied « I have an infinite number of them! » and he would have been speaking nothing except the truth
Is that Ettore Majorana seated directly behind Dirac?
3:50 It is kind of funny that Feynman is one of the very few physicists whose accomplishments are actually in the same league as Diracs
Good job.
What if Dirac was the Bill Burr of Physics?? Would Einstein be the Bob Ross of Physics?
This is where the idea for 'Sheldon Cooper' came from.
Yes yes you are right he like me 😍
Sheldon Cooper is 141423787878 words per minute unlike Dirac's 1 word per minute

good!
Great work buddy🙂
It was the student asking about an equation that set me off 😂
But the student didn’t ask!
This was more jokes than I thought it would be
This is word for word from his Wikipedia page. I know this because it was a very interesting read!
I read all when i. Was a engineer
😃😃 what a great man!
indeed
I LOVE PHYSICS - GREAT FUNNY MORSELS- THANKS

Did he have Aspergers Syndrome?
Very possibly. It seems that Feynman may well have had it too, but that it manifested in the two men in opposite ways.
My kind of guy. But I like Feynman also.
This is read verbatim from Wikipedia
I'd read the first four before.
Dr. Sheldon Cooper
The only physicist I can relate to although I am not as smart as him.
If you were as smart as him you wouldn't be posting comments on youtube.
Dirac was a Vulcan. 😀
Werner is pronounced "Verner..."
Very simple, in today's term he would be diagnosed with Asperger, Sheldon Copper style
Quantum cinematic universe.
So dark the con of governments.
His best work , About Dirac sea is out standing.
Think it was Dirac, after reviewing someones work with great displeasure said - This isn't even wrong.
That has been said by other physicists.
That kind of comment was typical for Pauli.
I can't hear that computer-generated voice without thinking it's trying to sell me something that is clearly bullshit. Am I alone in that?
At the time 19s. People do study regardless of own intelligence 😢
I enjoyed his talkative wife.
Not sure about hilarious, don't quit your day job as one of the most amazing minds ever.
How do you know before that the girls are nice 😂😂😂😂😂
I think his snarky comment at Feynman meant I have an equation, you have a diagram. Equation trump diagram.
I don’t think he was being snarky. He was not a conversationalist.
@@GH-oi2jf Dirac was totally unimpressed by Feynman and he was dismissive of the QED work done by Feynman, Schwinger and Tomonago. He regarded it is mathematically ugly and little more than a patch on the mathematical problems of his own quantum field theory.
Sounds like he had some degree of autism as they have a tendency to take statements at face value
Dirac clearly had Aspergers.
Dirac was almost certainly on the Autism spectrum, that is why he struggled with social cues.
I never considered Feynman a good physicist.
There's still time, you can do it!
He was a brilliant physicist who had a great ability to explain things to people of ordinary intelligence.
lmao
Asperger's
The WONDERS of physics endered 50 years ago. Physics as any physics enthusiast will know is stuck in a quagmire unable to proceed beyond the standard model.
They just have to stop building monstrous colliders, and start searching for new ideas again.
Such a shame that he was regarded as strange, he was probably highly autistic and desperately wanted to talk, who knows.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maxwell wrote poetry. It was awful
Whimsical
I just read some of Maxwell’s poetry. He was a skilled poet.
La traduzione fa pena
It us too fast to me
So I understand nothing. Why physics teils New and poetry not.
Poetry of mine:
Inertia he did Not put in question: ni Einstein nor Feynman.
I put it in question, so I am a blame man. Inertia one can Not define. Thats why I all them blame.
How do you know before that the girls are nice 😂😂😂😂😂

Not quite hilarious, though
a fake voice; please put a human to read, even if it doesn't sound good to you
HILARIOUS????
That's clickbait!!!!
Dirac was a great mathematician and physicist - NOT a comedian!
No bro I just click random... after read your comment I wonder what was the thumbnail and title 😂
I love this! I bother almost everyone i know with these same weird philosophical/psychological ideas, asking questions and offending people..... I bet Paul Dirac took acid/shrooms/salvia at some point, or lots of meditation, it's like it unlocks this area of your brain that allows you to think outside the box
that being said, a few of these from Paul are a little out there
"I bet Paul Dirac took acid/shrooms/salvia at some point, or lots of meditation, it's like it unlocks this area of your brain that allows you to think outside the box".
Bare assertion fallacy. How do you know he took these things? There is no evidence for this assertion of yours.
@@shivammishra1720 it makes some sense to me that it could be possible in context of what I’ve heard of very rationalist less open and empathetic people like Dirac doing psychedelics and opening their experience to other perspectives. In a lecture on Dirac here on Yt it said he started enjoying classical music and easing up his character a bit more in his older years. To be clear I have no clue if he ever did psychedelics or meditation but anything is possible, and I’ve heard of what I think the original commenter was alluding to before. My favourite UA-camr is Steven Mark Ryan (Solving the Money Problem) and he is on the autism spectrum and naturally cares a lot about truth and physics and is very rational. He has reported immense personal value from both psychedelics and meditation (but particularly psychedelics). I think he reported after taking LSD several times, great gains in feeling empathy and more emotion in social interaction, such that lots of friends and family noticed a change and asked him. He was simply saying there were experiences that changed him for the better and opened him to places he didn’t know had value. I’m expressing this horribly, but this is just my thoughts that I do sort of get how one might think Dirac did psychedelics or meditation and personally gained from them.
More like he was a bit autistic
I often say a similarly negative thing about poetry. I say a writer of prose is like an architect who designs a house, and every part of the design serves a logical purpose, while a poet is like a modern artist, who hits a canvas with a big splat of paint and then wants praise for his intellect. Also, none of these things are hilarious. They're just true and relevant statements. Like that first one, he simply pointed out the flaw in the previous statement.
