Something Weird Happens When E=-mc²

Join Derek Muller as he unpacks how Paul Dirac’s wild maths glitch led to the prediction of the positron and the notion of an entire anti-universe. From Schrödinger’s misstep to Dirac’s eponymous equation, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, and the mind-bending idea that antiparticles zip backward in time, this video makes quantum frontier lore feel downright thrilling.

Featuring expert insights from Graham Farmelo and Cumrun Vafa, plus rare archival materials from FSU and Caltech, you’ll get chapter-by-chapter deep dives, slick visuals, and all the references you need to explore antimatter’s origin story.
