e most important in modern particle physics, is, not surprisingly, called the Dirac equation. (Some years later, when Dirac first met the physicist Richard Feynman, whom we shall come to shortly, Dirac said after another awkward silence, "I have an equation. Do you?") Dirac's equation was beautiful, and as th

) was a "renormalizable" theory, allowing precise predictions of all physical quantities one could possibly measure in the theory, was completed by Freeman Dyson. His proof gave QED an unprecedented status in physics. QED provided a complete theory of the quantum interactions of electrons and light, with pr

tion. Still, questions remained, especially given the apparent disagree- ment with the Seattle/Oxford results. At a talk at Caltech on the subject, Richard Feynman, characteristically, homed in on a key outstanding ex- perimental question and asked whether the SLAC experimentalists had checked that the detector

was short-range? These problems continued to suggest to some that quantum field theory was the wrong approach for understanding the strong force. Freeman Dyson, who had played such an important role in the develop- ment of the first successful quantum field theory, quantum electrody- namics, asserted, when d
