'''Paul A.M. Dirac''' (1902-1984) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] theoretical physicist who helped develop mathematical expressions of relativistic [[quantum mechanics]]. His 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 relativity. Dirac to predicted the existence of the [[positron]], the electron's antiparticle, which was subsequently discovered by Carl Anderson in 1932. Dirac was the founder of quantum electrodynamics.
