Something Weird Happens When E=−mc² dives into Paul Dirac’s quest to tame the Schrödinger equation’s negative-energy beast. Along the way he bumps into the Klein–Gordon equation, rides the rollercoaster of Heisenberg’s uncertainty, and finally births the Dirac equation—revealing that those pesky negative solutions actually predict antimatter.
Dirac’s wild prediction of the anti-electron (later spotted as the positron) flips physics on its head: antiparticles aren’t just ghosts, they’re time-travelers rewinding the universe backward. Strap in for a tour of the “saddest chapter” in physics and the mind-bending realm of the anti-world.
