...Laboratory works a young Briton of Swiss extraction who is indisputably one of the few great mathematical logicians in the world. His Principles oj Quantum Mechanics is a monument of human cerebration. That book is utterly incomprehensible to ordinary men who had never heard of its author until Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac won a Nobel Prize last year. Only a few of the ablest scholar-scientists can follow the chain of symbolic reasoning in Principles of Quantum Mechanics, and among them none is more articulate, more authoritative, more sensible than Sir James Hopwood Jeans, president of the British Association...
...important synthesis, which last week in Washington he exhibited on a blackboard. Relativity treats matter as mass; quantum theory treats it as waves of probability. Sir Arthur's new quadratic equation treats it as both. Three years ago Cambridge University's astute young Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, writing the most complete exposition of quantum theory in existence, saw "the relativistic formulation of the quantum mechanics" as a great problem which physicists would sooner or later have to tackle. What Sir Arthur showed last week seemed a good start...
...From the toal credits annually," said the 1933 budget report of Senator Henry Berenger and Deputy Adrien Dariac, "10,000,000 francs will be attributed to the Presidential Council as necessary for use in combating separatist and antonomist propaganda in Alsace...
...Adrien Bonnefoy-Sibour, former Prefect of the suburban Department of Seine et Oise became the new prefect of police, popped quickly into the blue-papered office...
Naming three Nobel prizewinners in physics last week, the Swedish Academy of Science paid tribute to the ability of young men and the importance of small things. Oldest of the three prizemen is Dr. Erwin Schrodinger, 46, who shares this year's award with Dr. Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac. Dr. Dirac is only 31, as is Dr. Werner Heisenberg, to whom went the belated 1932 award.* All three have been busy prying into the unimaginably small interior of the atom...
