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

eactor went critical, and Chicago survived. Two and a half years later, Fermi was on hand in New Mexico to observe the first nuclear explosion, the Trinity test. Typical of Fermi, while the others stood in awe and horror, he conducted an impromptu experiment to estimate the bomb's strength by dropping
