The Dirac Equations are a set of four partial differential equations that describe the behavior of fermions, which are particles with half-integer spin, in the framework of special relativity.
The Dirac Equations were developed by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928.
The Dirac Equations were a major breakthrough in theoretical physics, as they provided a way to describe the behavior of particles with spin in a relativistic context. They also predicted the existence of antimatter, which was later confirmed experimentally.
Some scientists may collect the Dirac Equations as a way to study and understand the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity. They may also collect them as a historical or educational reference.
Collections of the Dirac Equations can be found in various textbooks and online resources on quantum mechanics and theoretical physics. Some universities or research institutions may also have physical collections of historical documents, including the original papers on the Dirac Equations.
