Something Weird Happens When E = –mc² dives into Paul Dirac’s wild journey from the failure of Schrödinger’s original equation and the Klein–Gordon saga to the revolutionary Dirac equation. Along the way, we meet the strange consequences of negative energy, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, and the search for a mathematically consistent theory of electrons.
The payoff? Dirac’s math didn’t just predict electrons—it demanded their mirror twins, antiparticles like the positron, hinting at a hidden “anti-world” where particles might even travel backwards in time. It’s a mind-bending look at how a simple sign change rewrote our understanding of matter and the universe.
