'''Paul A.M. Dirac''' (1902-1984) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] theoretical [[physicist]] who helped develop mathematical expressions of relativistic [[quantum mechanics]]. His [[science|scientific]] [[philosophy]] was this: "Physical laws should have mathematical beauty and simplicity."

Dirac developed a equation of motion for the wavefunction of the [[electron]] based on [[Theory of relativity|relativity]]. Dirac predicted the existence of the [[positron]], the electron's [[antiparticle]], which was subsequently discovered by [[Carl Anderson]] in 1932. Dirac was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933<ref>[http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1933/ The Official Web Site of the Nobel Prize:] The Nobel Prize in Physics 1933
