Provenance: The British Electrical and Allied Industries Research Association (institutional ink library stamp to upper margin of title and front free endpaper). A very good, clean and bright copy internally. ---- Dirac's landmark paper, one of the most important in the history of particle physics, where he proposed the Dirac equation, as a relativistic equation of motion for the wave function of the electron, or the unification of quantum mechanics and special relativity. - Visit our website to see more images!

1928. London, Harrison and Sons, 1928. Royal8vo. In the original printed wrappers. In "Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series A, Vol. 117, No. 778". Black cloth backstrip pasted on to spine, otherwise a fine copy (without institutional stamps). [Dirac's paper:]Pp 610-624. [Entire issue:] Pp. 541-730, (2), XXXVI, X + 6 plates. First printing of Dirac's landmark paper in which he unified quantum mechanics and relativity and implied the existence of antimatter now known as the Dirac Equation; one of the great triumphs of theoretical physics which brought him on a par with the works of Newton, Maxwell, and Einstein before him. In 1933 he was awarded the Nobel Price in Physics "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory", a direct consequence of the present paper. "[The Dirac Equations] ranks among the highest achievements of twentieth-century science" (Pais, Inward Bound, p. 290)."In the Dirac equation not only quantum mechanics and the special theory of relativity were… Read More
