When1:  1926

When2:  1947

Who:    Paul A. M. Dirac [Dirac, Paul A. M.]

What:   physicist

Where:  England

works\  Principles of Quantum Mechanics [1930 and 1947]

Detail: He lived 1902 to 1984, developed Fermi-Dirac statistics for fermions [1926], invented Dirac equation for electron [1928], and developed relativistic quantum mechanics and relativistic wave equation [1931]. He showed how to subtract particle field, which becomes infinite at point, and leave surrounding field, if particle position, velocity, and acceleration have values. Many initial accelerations cause particles to accelerate continuously {runaway solutions}.
