From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: In developing quantum mechanical theory, physicist Paul Dirac, born #OTD, predicted that all matter has a kind of mirror image - antimatter. Dirac's theory would later be proved experimentally. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1933 which he shared with Erwin Schrodinger. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1159345255101227008/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/60251 -

From mcnees https://twitter.com/mcnees on Twitter: Dirac's paper on the quantum emission and absorption of radiation, advancing the first truly quantum theory of electrodynamics, was submitted to the Royal Society #OTD in 1927. It is considered by many to mark the beginning of Quantum Field Theory. http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/114/767/243 https://twitter.com/mcnees/status/959477250281353217/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/47948 -
