    From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: Remembering David Thouless, who was awarded the 2016 Physics Prize. Thouless worked with Michael Kosterlitz to describe phase transitions in thin layers at low temperatures. He also explained the quantum Hall effect. He was born #OTD in 1934 and passed away on 6 April 2019. https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1175297610581708800/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/61486

    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
