    Dirac Papers
AI Thread Summary
Numerous papers by Dirac that were previously available on archive.org have seemingly disappeared, leading to speculation about a possible purge. A search for "Dirac" yields minimal results, raising concerns about the accessibility of these important works. Users have reported encountering paywalls when attempting to access Dirac's classic papers through links from his Wikipedia article. However, a Google search reveals that several of Dirac's papers from the Royal Society are actually open access. For those seeking his works, Google Scholar provides a comprehensive list of available papers.

So I could swear that a few months ago, there were dozens of papers by Dirac available on archive.org -- page after page of them...but now, there's nothing -- even just a search for "dirac" turns up less than one page.

Was there some kind of purge, or something like that? Or am I just crazy?

Also, while looking for a substitute, I found a link on Dirac's Wikipedia article advertising "Free online access to Dirac's classic 1920s papers from Royal Society's Proceedings", but upon following it, I'm almost immediately repelled by a paywall...anyone had any experience with that?

Thanks,
Justin

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
