Something Weird Happens When E=−mc² dives into how Paul Dirac’s groundbreaking work on negative energy and the Dirac equation led to the prediction of antiparticles—the anti-electron zipping back in time like a cosmic boomerang. Starting with Schrödinger’s missteps, Dirac’s refashioned equations not only respected relativity but also unveiled a hidden anti-universe lurking beneath the math.
Along the way we meet “the strangest man in physics,” trace the birth of the positron, and glimpse those mind-bending thought experiments where antiparticles play by their own reverse-time rules. It’s part biography, part quantum detective story, and totally a tribute to the weird world Dirac unlocked.
