Simons Center Colloquium by Graham Farmelo, ‘Paul Dirac and the Religion of Mathematical Beauty’
Wednesday November 14 at 5:30pm. Room 103
Reception at 5:00pm
Abstract: Paul Dirac is sometimes described as the theorist’s theorist. Co-inventor of the most revolutionary scientific theory of the past 150 years, he is now best known for conceiving anti-matter theoretically. Mathematical beauty was ‘almost a religion’ to him. In this review, I shall look at how this became an obsession for him and why he is now regarded as visionary of the modern relationship between geometry and physics.
