That there is such a thing called anti-matter never ceases to amaze me. Paul Dirac, when he arrived at the famous equation for electron-, realized that the equation predicted two particles: one was the electron and the other a as yet unknown particle which he called the positron. Great physicists are guided towards Truth by the subtle hand of Beauty. Dirac&#8217;s equation was exquisite. Hence, it must be true, he declared in 1928. The positron was discovered in 1932. (Dirac was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics the following year.)&quot;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/energy\">energy<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/Nobel\">Nobel<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/particles\">particles<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/history\">history<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethanzuckerman.com\/blog\/2009\/04\/30\/the-importance-of-being-a-dork\/\">\u00e2\u0080\u00a6My heart\u00e2\u0080\u0099s in Accra \u00c2\u00bb The importance of being a dork<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&quot;If the obvious ingredients for cultural bridging are common ground (beer, football, dancing), and a sense of humor, there\u00e2\u0080\u0099s another key ingredient in these examples: airplane tickets.
