One of my favorite photographs. It captures their characters so well.
Dirac: "Yes, that is so."
Nice; the quintessential Theoretical/Mathematical Physicist!
The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Quantum Genius - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strangest_Man
Paul Dirac Quotes - https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Paul_Dirac
Read his lecture/essay; The Relation between Mathematics and Physics by Paul Dirac - https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/events/strings02/dirac/speach.ht...
Wikipedia also has a nice general overview; Relationship between Mathematics and Physics - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between_mathemati...
aside: for feynman, mr. oppenheimer said "he is a second Dirac, only this time human".
Both were pretty neurodivergent. Dirac had Autism and Feynman probably Autism + ADHD .
