  • It began with Dirac's quantization of fields using the variables of amplitude and phase.

  • The activities of DEPHIO included, for instance, lodging together in a borrowed country house for ten days during the summer vacation and holding a seminar class at a 2,000 meter high hill of the North Japanese Alps, having carried Dirac's thick textbook up there.

  • Ironically, then, Graham Farmelo's recent biography of the British physicist Paul Dirac, reports that Dirac's verdict on his Cambridge contemporary was:

  • Davies, of course, thinks we should show off our scientific knowledge, sending Maxwell's equations, the field equations of general relativity, Dirac's equation of relativistic quantum mechanics, and so on.

  • Dirac's subtraction argument has not been removed by quantum field theory, it has only been shifted into a different place …

  • "Dirac's sea of electrons" has an infinite charge density, and that's why it failed, but he didn't have any reason to use Einstein's abandoned model, because everybody alread "knew" that it was flawed …

  • That fixes Dirac's hole theory to work by the same mechanism in both, the gravitational and electromagnetic fields, so it also fixes his flawed cosmological model as well as his "Large Numbers Hypothesis", thereby shedding a clarifying light on the previously incomplete and tautologous, Anthropic Principle.

  • Dirac's was able to unify Quantum Theory and Special Relativity via the Dirac equation, but his hole theory failed to unify QM and General Relativity.

    …And Now, For Something Completely Different 2005

  • Einstein's vacuum doesn't have Dirac's problem because you have to condense his negative pressure vacuum energy down over a finite region of space in order to achieve positive matter density, pressure, and gravitational curvature, so both particles leave real "holes" in the vacuum, which creates a void that increases negative pressure.
