Dirac equation: History & Art

In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-⁠1/2⁠ massive particles, called "Dirac particles", such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry. It is consistent with both the…
