Something Weird Happens When E=−mc² dives into how Paul Dirac turned a “mistake” in Schrödinger’s equation into the prediction of antimatter. Derek Muller guides you from the birth of the Dirac equation through the discovery of the positron, unpacking why negative-energy solutions weren’t just a math quirk but a window into a whole anti-universe.
Along the way you’ll meet the “strangest man in physics,” learn why antiparticles behave like they’re zipping backward through time, and see how archive finds at FSU and Caltech cemented Dirac’s wildest ideas. It’s a fast-paced, mind-bending tour of one of modern physics’ most astonishing stories.
