Poetry: Representations

Finally, a revelation! I was asking myself: Why do I often find ancient, terse, illustration-free textbooks easier to follow than their modern, friendly, playful, illustrated, multi-media-enhanced counterparts? Case in point (and I know that not everybody will agree): Paul Dirac's legendary Principles of Quantum Mechanics or the definitive course on theoretical physics, the volumes by Landau and Lifshitz. In modern lectures and articles such resources may be announced as "valuable but not […]

Poetry: The Principle of Superposition

The lines of the following poem are phrases selected from consecutive pages of the first chapter of Paul Dirac's Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Fourth Edition (Revised), The Principle of Superposition. ~ one would be inclined to think There must certainly be some internal motion from general philosophical grounds we cannot expect to find any causal connexion observe what appears on the back side of the crystal all that can legitimately be asked somewhere in the region of space […]

#Dirac was a strange man who today would probably be diagnosed as being on the #autism spectrum. Tall, gangly and reminiscent of a stick insect, his habit was to work hard all week and on Sundays take long walks in the countryside around Cambridge, where he would climb tall trees dressed in his suit and tie.

I am toiling over Dirac. This balancing on the dizzying path between genius and madness is awful. I don't understand the details of Dirac at all.
