“Of all physicists,Dirac has the purest soul”
---------------Niels Bohr
据说Dirac平时相当的沉默寡言,具有典型的英国绅士风度,
不过有时侯他也会对别人的私人生活特别感兴趣,1946年,
一个荷兰物理学家Pais,Abraham在IAS访问时与Dirac一起
吃饭,下面是这两个人的对话
Dirac:Do you always eat three sandwiches for lunch?
Pais:yes
Dirac:Do you always eat the same three sandwiches
for lunch?
Pais:No,it depends on my taste of the day
Dirac:Do you eat your sandwiches in some fixed order?
Pais:No
几个月后,一个叫Salam的年轻人遇见Pais问道:
“Cambridge大学的Dirac教授常提起你,他很关心你现在是否
每顿还吃三个三明治”
