WHAT DO YOU MEAN "ANTIMATTER", PAUL?



Reading a brilliant biography of physicist Paul Dirac. A cool bit of trivia from the book: Paul Dirac and Cary Grant (then Archie Leach) grew up just a few blocks apart in Bristol, UK and even went to the same school.

As they say, "Mind = Blown".

I'm having a blast reading it. What a figure Dirac was!

He is great but I remember him saying that after Heisenberg's work, even second-rate pysicists could do first-rate work.
